Thiruvananthapuram | The Kerala government said special wellness clinics for women will run every Tuesday at all 5,000-plus Public Health Centres (PHCs) in the state.

State Health Minister Veena George said in a statement on Friday that the clinics will help diagnose anaemia, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and other health issues.
