Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Additionally, a pharmacy will also come up. The PHC came into existence on the initiative of Neelkanth Tiwari, former UP minister and MLA from Varanasi South assembly constituency. Tiwari inaugurated the PHC on Thursday in the Adivisheshwar ward's Patthar Gali.. The Yogi Adityanath govt shut down illegal slaughterhouses in 2017 to protect cows and prevent trafficking. Following this, Tiwari initiated the establishment of the health centre at this site and laid the foundation for its construction. During the inauguration ceremony, 21 Vedic priests conducted purification rituals with Vedic chants and the recitation of Sundarkand. Tiwari said that during the COVID-19 crisis everyone relied on govt hospitals and these hospitals and primary health centres played a crucial role in keeping people healthy. "Therefore, it was essential to organise these centres to provide significant relief through primary treatment," he said, while adding, "There are a total of five primary health centres in the Varanasi South constituency, and all primary centres, which previously operated in small rented rooms, now have their own buildings. All health centres are functioning smoothly, and preparations are underway to enhance other advanced medical facilities at these centres.
