I amhopeful that the machine will help in the early diagnosis of variousailments. Now it is the duty of thehospital management to upkeep the machine so that locals continue to benefitfrom it. It is surely a very important addition to the hospital that willbenefit scores of families who otherwise had to go to various city hospitalslocated miles away. The measure will help the poor who find it heavy on theirpockets to get the ultra sound done at various private clinics around the maincity.”
