The services at this CCC have received huge applause from none other than the state Covid Nodal officer Dr Arja Srikanth, who mentioned after his visit to the facility that it is one of the best maintained centres. Among various initiatives here, an internal spreadsheet was designed and coded where the vitals of the patients are updated from time to time. Based on the conditions, the colour code of the patient and name changes from deep red to deep green with a change in the brightness of the colour. It helps the doctors for the quick assessment of patient condition so that they can give proper treatment.
