These centres aim to facilitate genetic research and laboratory tests for conditions such as inborn errors of metabolism and immune deficiencies. Construction of the buildings and procurement of high-value machinery are currently underway, said officials, adding that 50% of the work has been completed.

Recognising that genetic disorders are a major cause of Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and Under-Five Mortality Rate (U5MR), the state government has allocated ₹8.19 crore to establish two new Centres of Excellence in Coimbatore and Madurai, said officials.
