Hapur: Patients visiting the Community Health Centre (CHC) on Garh Road will now have better access to radiology-related medical services. The new arrangement is expected to reduce the need for patients to visit other hospitals for certain diagnostic procedures.

The health department has assigned District Hospital radiologist Dr. Rajendra Gupta to serve at Hapur CHC every Tuesday and Friday.

The decision comes after the CHC was left without a dedicated radiologist following the departure of acting Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ved Prakash. As a result, several radiology-related medical examinations were being delayed or referred elsewhere.

According to CHC Superintendent Dr. Kapil Gautam, the request for specialist support was made considering the hospital's high patient load and the growing demand for diagnostic services. With the new schedule in place, patients are expected to receive more timely and convenient radiology care twice a week.
