In a recent development, AIADMK MLA S.V. Sekar criticized the government for shutting down the Amma clinics in Chennai. The closure of these clinics has sparked controversy and drawn criticism from various quarters. Amma clinics were established by the late Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa to provide quality healthcare services to the underprivileged sections of society. Sekar expressed his disappointment with the government’s decision, stating that these clinics played a crucial role in delivering affordable healthcare to the people of Chennai. He emphasized the importance of maintaining these clinics to ensure that the less fortunate have access to basic medical facilities. The MLA’s comments have reignited the debate on the government’s healthcare policies and priorities. The closure of Amma clinics has raised concerns about the impact on the healthcare sector in Chennai and the welfare of the disadvantaged population. It remains to be seen whether the government will reconsider its decision in light of the backlash from the public and political leaders like Sekar. The fate of the Amma clinics hangs in the balance as stakeholders continue to push for their reopening to fulfill the healthcare needs of the marginalized communities in Chennai.
