A new physiotherapy unit was inaugurated at Santirbazar district hospital, aiming to provide affordable rehabilitation services to residents of South Tripura.
The Santirbazar district hospital in South Tripura officially opened a dedicated physiotherapy clinic today, with senior health officials and local representatives in attendance. The inauguration marked a significant step toward expanding outpatient rehabilitation facilities in the region.
The clinic is equipped to offer a range of physiotherapy services, including muscle strengthening, joint mobilization, and post‑operative recovery programs. It is expected to cater primarily to patients from rural and semi‑urban areas who previously traveled long distances for such care.
Health department officials highlighted that the new unit will help reduce the burden of musculoskeletal disorders and improve overall functional health among the local population. They also indicated plans to integrate the clinic with existing primary health centers to ensure a seamless referral system.
In the coming months, the hospital intends to organize community outreach sessions to raise awareness about the benefits of physiotherapy and encourage early intervention for injuries and chronic conditions.
