Under this scheme, over 900 patients from Nabarangpur district have already benefitted from timely and advanced medical treatment. The air health service has emerged as a lifesaving intervention, especially for those in critical condition who require immediate transportation to better-equipped medical facilities in urban centers.

The primary objective of the scheme is to provide affordable, swift, and high-quality healthcare services to people residing in inaccessible and tribal-dominated regions. By leveraging air ambulances and aerial medical evacuation services, the government has significantly improved emergency healthcare response times, which in turn enhances the chances of patient recovery and survival.

Citizens of Nabarangpur have expressed gratitude for this government initiative, which has brought a ray of hope to many families. With this scheme in place, healthcare is no longer a privilege limited to cities, but a right accessible to every citizen, regardless of geography.

The Mukhyamantri Bayu Swasthya Seva Yojana not only symbolizes the government’s commitment to inclusive development but also reflects a progressive shift toward equity in healthcare delivery. As the initiative continues to expand, it promises to transform the public health landscape across Odisha, one life at a time.
