Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Friday inaugurated Pabitra Mohan Pradhan Government Hospital at Talcher in Odisha’s Angul district.

Speaking at the inauguration of the 330-bed hospital through video-conferencing, Naveen thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the Centre’s cooperation for the project. The hospital will be converted into a medical college in future, he said.

Paying his respect to freedom fighter Pabitra Mohan Pradhan, who was born in Talcher, the chief minister said the area has contributed immensely to development of the state with its rich mineral resources.

He further said his government has been stressing on ensuring high-quality health services to the people and hoped that the new hospital will serve the needs of the local residents.

Participating in the function, Union Coal Minister Prahllad Joshi said Coal India, which has contributed towards construction of the hospital, would also help in making it a medical college. The Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL) will provide Rs 628 crore for management of the hospital for next 5 years, he added.

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said the day will be remembered by the local people as the hospital is named after its son of soil.
