 Haflong, March 14: In a significant boost to healthcare services in Dima Hasao district, a much-needed three-bedded modern Trauma Centre was inaugurated at Haflong Civil Hospital on Saturday.

Following the inauguration, a distribution programme of smartphones to ASHA workers was also held at Haflong Civil Hospital, where 35 ASHA workers received smartphones to support their healthcare activities.
Earlier in the day, EM Changsan also inaugurated the newly completed building of the District Drugs Control Office at Haflong.
