The Export Credit Guarantee Corporation of India Limited and Manav Vikas Sanstha inaugurated advanced health machines at the Primary Health Centre in Chuchot on June 28.

The Chuchot Primary Health Centre has made a significant advancement in healthcare by installing a state-of-the-art Health ATM machine. This cutting-edge device can diagnose over 46 health parameters, providing residents with quick and comprehensive health screenings.

Incharge CMO/DTO Leh, Dolma Choskit, emphasized the convenience and efficiency of the Health ATM. She also inquired about the machine's durability during winter, noting that it is crucial for the machine to function properly during the harsh winter months when technical issues are more likely to arise.
