Kakching, May 18 2021:
Hiyanglam MLA Dr Radheshyam Yumnam on Tuesday opened Covid Vaccination and Testing Centre at Langmeidong Health and Wellness Centre (H&WC) under Hiyanglam assembly constituency.
Later, he also visited Arong Tera H&WC to oversee preparation for opening a similar Centre there.
During the visit, the MLA was accompanied by National Health Mission Manipur State Health Society mission director Dr Ningombam Shyamjai, Kakching chief medical officer Dr Thaodem Rajen Singh, district immunization officer Dr Surjitkumar Haobam, district surveillance officer Dr Kiran Elangbam, CHC Kakching immunization in charge Dr Kshetrimayum Sumati Devi and others.
Speaking on the sidelines, MLA Dr Radheshyam Yumnam stated that Covid Vaccination and Testing Centre has been opened at Langmeidong H&WC considering that there is only one vaccination centre in the Hiyanglam AC at Hiyanglam PHC and no testing centre.
On the other hand, the people residing at the 22.5 km long stretch between Sekmaijin to Nongmaikhong under Hiyanglam AC have to travel far for Covid vaccination and testing.
That's why, accompanied by officials concerned, he inspected Arong Tera H&WC for opening vaccination and testing centre at the health centre, the MLA said.
He assured that very soon a centre will be opened at Arong Tera H&WC.
He has also provided funds to locals for making arrangements for people who visit the centre for vaccination and testing, he further added.
Dr Radheshyam Yumnam further appealed to people to get vaccinated and if suspicious undertake test to fight the Covid-19 pandemic.
