Dr Behera is a critical care expert while Dr Patra is an immunologist.

The SUM COVID Hospital was set up as the largest such facility in Odisha by the state government soon after the impact of the coronavirus was felt in the state.

Three other hospitals were set up soon after under SUM Hospital’s stewardship at Kendrapara, Talcher and Chandpur. The four hospitals have a total bed strength of over 2200. Besides, it operated two COVID Care Centres at Jamujhari on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar and Jatni.
