Mysore/Mysuru: The members of the public have opposed the Health authorities’ decision to shift the District Early Intervention Centre (DEIC), which was functioning from Nachanahallipalya Primary Health Centre (PHC) at J.P. Nagar, to an isolated building in the District Hospital premises at Metagalli on KRS Road.
The DEIC provides free therapeutic treatment for disabled children in the age group of 0 to 18 years. The Centre was set up at Nachanahalliplaya PHC in 2017-18 at a cost of Rs. 50 lakh. The Centre has Paediatricians, Physiotherapists, Speech Therapists, Psychologists, Ophthalmologists and Counsellors to treat children from Mysuru and surrounding districts for their disabilities and deformities for free.
