Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, July 30 –
Haryana CS TVSN Prasad, who is also the chairman of the Pet Animal Health Society (PAHS), Panchkula, today disclosed that a dialysis unit will be established and also double shifts will be implemented at the Pet Animal Medical Centre (PAMC) in Panchkula. These significant steps aim to bolster veterinary healthcare in the region.
Following the 7th Governing Council meeting of PAHS, the Chief Secretary stated that PAMC, known for its comprehensive pet care services, currently handles 10-15 kidney failure cases each month. With no existing dialysis facility for pets in the Tricity area, the new unit will address a critical gap in veterinary care. The council approved a budget of Rs 12 lakh for the establishment of this essential nephrological treatment facility.
To accommodate the increasing caseload, the Governing Council has also implemented double shifts at PAMC. The new working hours are 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with Sunday and government holidays from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This change will ensure continuous fluid therapy for kidney patients and enhance overall pet care.
