The district administration here on Monday launched an ‘X-ray on Wheels’ facility to provide radiography services to patients at the Covid Care Centres and also to those who are in home isolation. “This is an initiative to provide services by portable X-ray machines for early detection of lungs infection so as to shift
them to hospitals before the infection gets severe,” said district Collector BS Chaini after launching the facility.
The facility has the capacity to take X-ray pictures of at least 1,000 patients daily, said Cuttack Municipal Corporation Commissioner Ananya Das, who was also present at the launching programme.
