Tamil Nadu Public Healthcare Supports Migrant Workers Amid Workplace Injury Insurance Gaps
Migrant workers in Tamil Nadu face severe workplace injuries often without adequate insurance coverage, relying heavily on the state's public healthcare system. At Government Stanley Medical College Hospital, several migrant workers are treated monthly for major vascular trauma from industrial accidents involving machinery, falls, and agricultural equipment. Cases like 19-year-old Akash Kumar, who suffered a life-threatening leg injury, highlight the challenges of financial protection and rehabilitation for these workers far from home.
