Odisha Govt plans to revamp five hospitals in 15 years
Bhubaneswar: In an ambitious move to overhaul its healthcare infrastructure, the state government has laid out a comprehensive plan for the redevelopment of five key hospitals over the next 15 years.
The blueprint for transformation includes SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack; Acharya Harihar Postgraduate Institute of Cancer, Cuttack; MKCG Medical College and Hospital, Berhampur; Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Burla; and Rourkela Government Hospital. Each institution is set to receive targeted upgrades tailored to meet the growing healthcare needs of the region.
Veer Surendra Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research and Rourkela Government Hospital are not left behind, with plans for new campuses, a 700-bed hospital, and a super-specialty wing among the proposed developments. A 700-bed hospital including obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, critical care, a boys' central canteen, an indoor stadium, and a cricket facility in Vimsar will be built at a cost of approximately Rs 1,000 crore, according to Phase-I of the project.
Moreover, a trauma facility and a super-specialty wing will be added to RGH. The first step is to put out a bid for 400 more beds, which will cost about 700 million rupees.
