Disastrous Medical Infrastructure in Odisha

Disastrous Medical Infrastructure in Odisha 
during 15 years of Naveen Patnaik Regime  


Will the millions of poor people of Odisha survive without basic health facilities from Govt.? 

Health is one of the basic services that the Citizens are entitled to get it  at reasonable price or free of cost  in a welfare state. The State Government is duty bound to provide free health service to the people. As per article 47 of the Indian Constitution, the State shall  regard  the raising of the level of nutrition and the standard of the living of its people and the improvement of public health as among its primary duties. As per Rural Health Statistics 2014, there are 6688 number of health sub centres, 1305 primary health centres, 377 community health centres and 114 mobile medical units running in the stateto  cater  health service to the people of Odisha. But  these centres are suffering from a lot of issues mainly infrastructure  for  which the poor people are  suffering from health hazards in the state. The 15 year BJD regime has precariously  failed to deliver minimum health service  to the people of Odisha
