Integrated Physiotherapy Service and e-ambulance launched in Sundargarh district will surely make the healthcare ecosystem more accessible to the people. The modern physiotherapy is now available to the general public in Sundargarh district.”

Physiotherapy is being implemented in the district with support from the District Mineral Foundation, DMF Sundargarh.
