It is a piece of delightful news that the process for up-gradation of IGH, Rourkela to a super specialty medical college and hospital has been expedited under the direct supervision of the PMO. A budget of 200 crores has been allocated from the Prime Minister’s Swasthya Suraksha Yojana to build infrastructure for the same. A high-level team of experts and architects have visited the hospital and have submitted the report to SAIL and the Ministry of Steel outlining the requirement of infrastructure and medical equipment. AIIMS, Bhubaneswar has been assigned the responsibility of introducing super-specialty services and developing the curriculum for the post graduate courses.
Let’s hopeful that with the present pace of progress and its monitoring by the PMO, IGH will be developed into a super-specialty hospital soon and cater to the advanced healthcare needs of the people of Rourkela and Sundergarh.
