District hospital adds a 24-hour diabetes clinic and free eye checks

The new clinic at the district hospital will run round the clock. Free eye checks are included for diabetes patients.

Health officials say complications such as eye and kidney damage are rising.

The clinic will have two doctors, three nurses and a counsellor on every shift. Patients can book by phone or walk in. Foot checks and retina photos are free for patients with diabetes.

Officials said a mobile van will also visit 30 villages every month.
