Avinashi GH may not get trauma care unit for now: Health dept

The New Indian Express Dharmapuri

January 11, 2025

THE people of Avinashi have been continuously urging the state government to upgrade the Avinashi government hospital by opening a trauma and emergency care unit, but a senior health department officer told TNIE that it will not happen any time soon as 400 patients visit the hospital on an average every day.

- P SRINIVASAN @Tiruppur

GV Ravikumar, coordinator of Avinashi Government Hospital Rescue Movement, said, "Avinashi is a major town which is developing very rapidly and has been upgraded to a municipality by the government. About 25 km of Salem-Cochin NH lies within Avinashi taluk and accidents are frequent on the stretch. Though a government hospital is located in Avinashi, victims have to be taken to Tiruppur or Coimbatore because it lacks trauma and emergency care unit. Ambulances have to travel for about an hour to save accident victims.
