BHUBANESWAR: The Odisha government on Wednesday said that it will set up a new medical college in Kandhamal district and a 650-bedded teaching hospital for the existing institute in Koraput district.
A proposal in this regard was approved at a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik. "The state government decided to construct a 100- seated new state-run medical college and teaching hospital at Phulbani (in Kandhamal district) and a 650-bedded teaching hospital for the medical college at Koraput on a turnkey basis," Parliamentary Affairs Minister B K Arukha said in a video message after the Cabinet meeting.
"The hospitals will give a boost to medical education and cater to the healthcare needs of the people in the region, the Chief Minister's Office tweeted.
