Following the issue of the non-availability of insulin at the Sanguem Primary Health Centre (PHC), the Sanguem PHC has now received an adequate supply of the medicine.

Residents and diabetic patients from Sanguem have expressed their gratitude to D’Costa for his intervention in taking up the matter with the authorities and ensuring that the issue was resolved, which would give them much relief.
