Odisha Govt To Set Up 20 Hospitals Under PPP Mode

Bhubaneswar: To bring about a significant change in the healthcare sector in Odisha and make it people-oriented, the state government has decided to set up 20 hospitals on Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) mode.

A decision to this effect has been taken by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.

According to a government press release, the proposed hospitals would come up in Puri, Jeypore, Angul, Barbil, Baripada, Bhadrak, Balangir, Jharsuguda, Kalahandi, Phulbani, Dhenkanal, Boudh, Nuapada, Malkangiri, Nabarangpur, Sonepur, Rayagada, Paralakhemundi, Rairangpur and Kendrapara.

The state government has included 11 high priority districts in its ambitious project under the Healthcare Investment Promotion Policy, 2016.

The proposed project will have a capital investment of about Rs 1000 crore, so far the highest in healthcare sector in the country on PPP mode, with an opportunity for direct employment of about 10,000 people, especially in para-medical sector in which women will mostly benefit.

As decided by the state government, the proposed hospitals would be set up in the hub and spoke model under Affordable Healthcare Project. While some hospitals would work as a central hospital or hub, other branch or referral hospitals as spoke.

The spoke model hospitals will have Surgery, Medicine, Gynaecology, Orthopaedics, Anaesthesia, Eye, ENT, Dental, X-Ray, Pathology, Psychiatric, Skin, Casualty, Emergency Care and Trauma Care departments. All these departments will also be opened at the hub model hospitals along with Cardiology and Neurology departments.

The 20 hospitals will have a minimum 2,700 beds which will reduce the bed scarcity in the government hospitals across the state by about 56 percent. Out of 2700 beds, 50 percent beds will be reserved for the general ward.

These NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals) accredited hospitals will provide healthcare facility to the patients insured by the health insurance and other medical insurance schemes. Besides, select category patients can also avail the benefits of several government schemes for their treatment, the release added.
