Bhubaneswar, Feb 4, 2025Odisha’s Chief Minister, Mohan Charan Majhi, has given the green light to the development of a 500-bed trauma centre at SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack. The centre, aimed at providing immediate and advanced care to accident victims, will be funded under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Surakshya Yojana. The Union Government will cover 60% of the construction costs, with the state government contributing the remaining 40%.

This decision follows a formal request made by the Chief Minister to Union Health Minister JP Nadda last year. With the Centre’s approval in place, a detailed project report will soon be prepared to move forward with the construction. This trauma centre will play a vital role in strengthening emergency medical services in the state.
