During his one-day visit to Rourkela, the chief minister said the state government has been repeatedly demanding establishment of second All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) at Sundargarh to improve the health services in western Odisha. The government has already made its stand clear in the Assembly, he added.

The smart health cards will be issued to about 4.37 lakh beneficiaries in Sundargarh district including 68,575 beneficiaries in Rourkela. Sundargarh is the second disrict after Malkangiri where the chief minister distributed the health cards.

Under the scheme, each family can avail treatment benefits upto Rs 5 lakh per annum and women family members upto Rs 10 lakh.
