Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw attention to the dire state of the Canacona Health Centre, which unfortunately remains the only facility serving the entire Canacona taluka.
The centre faces an acute shortage of doctors and essential medical facilities. Patients in need of urgent care are often left untreated in time and forced to travel long distances to Margao or other places for even basic healthcare. The absence of proper infrastructure, diagnostic equipment, and specialist doctors has placed the health and safety of the local population at serious risk.
For a taluka as vast as Canacona, it is deeply unjust that residents are deprived of dependable healthcare services. I earnestly appeal to the concerned authorities, through your newspaper, to take immediate steps to upgrade the Canacona Health Centre with adequate staff, modern equipment, and improved facilities so that people may finally access quality healthcare within their own taluka.
