Candolim PHC staff worked hard to bring down cases: Health minister Vishwajit Rane

CALANGUTE: Health minister Vishwajit Rane praised the staff at Candolim primary health centre (PHC) for successfully tackling the Covid pandemic scenario in the Calangute-Candolim tourism hub after the sudden surge in cases during the second wave.
During his visit on Friday at the Candolim vaccination centre, Rane said he decided to specially come down to show his appreciation to the PHC staff and others who worked round-the-clock to lower the cases.
“Initially, during the second wave, Candolim PHC area was one of the hotspots.
Today, it’s come down to 2% positivity and the credit for this goes to Dr Roshan Nazareth, the health officer in-charge of Candolim PHC.
There are some people who make the extra effort to make a difference, and hence I thought I should come here and show my appreciation to Dr Roshan and all those who have worked to bring down the cases at the PHC,” the health minister said.
Minister for ports and Calangute MLA Michael Lobo, who was also present, said, “At one point, Candolim PHC had the second highest number of cases in the state after Margao.
The PHC staff and others worked hard to bring the caseload down to almost nil.” Candolim sarpanch Blaize Fernandes, who was instrumental in starting the offsite vaccination centre for the PHC, said, “Candolim was going through a bad phase.
We, through Michael Lobo, approached the chief minister and health minister and they immediately came to our assistance and started the vaccination centre.
They said the village panchayat can take over the vaccination, and in a very short time we managed to bring down the number of cases.” Both Rane and Lobo urged people to get themselves vaccinated at the earliest.
