Dr Socorro Quadros, Health Officer at PHC Quepem stated, “The delay in repairing the X-ray machine was because the part of the machine was not available. So the machine is now functioning. We don’t have a sanctioned post for a technician, but the technician from Curchorem comes here twice a week. We mostly use X-ray for patients with TB. We give appointments mostly on Tuesdays and Saturdays.”
“ In case of emergencies, if we have accident cases, we do preliminary diagnosis and since we don’t have a technician, we recommend them to an orthopaedic in South Goa District Hospital,”Dr Quadros explained.
