Similarly, the Pollachi and Mettupalayam GHs performed around 233 major surgeries. In spite of limited manpower and resources, GHs in rural parts of the district have been successfully performing complex surgeries.

Doctors at these facilities have stated that performing numerous surgeries at tertiary-level GHs helps reduce the workload at the medical college hospitals in the city.
