KORAPUT (Odisha), Aug. 11:<\/strong> In a major step towards strengthening healthcare in South Odisha, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Sunday inaugurated the new Shaheed Laxman Naik Medical College building in Koraput \u2014 a 650-bed facility built at a cost of \u20b9280 crore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state-of-the-art medical college, equipped with modern diagnostic and treatment facilities, is expected to become a regional hub for specialised care, catering to patients from Koraput and neighbouring tribal districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Declaring the project a \u201ccornerstone\u201d of his government\u2019s healthcare vision, Majhi assured that people in the region would no longer need to travel hundreds of kilometres for advanced treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom now on, the people of Koraput will get timely medical care right here,\u201d The CM said, addressing a large gathering at the inauguration. \u201cWe will expedite the recruitment of doctors, nurses, and other medical staff so that the hospital runs at full capacity without delay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Majhi emphasised that decentralising healthcare services by setting up high-quality institutions in rural and tribal areas is crucial to improving health outcomes and reducing patient hardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of this broader plan, the Chief Minister announced the establishment of new medical colleges in Dhenkanal, Jagatsinghpur, Bhadrak, and Nabarangpur, creating a statewide network of training and treatment centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linking healthcare growth with infrastructure development, Majhi also unveiled plans to upgrade the Jeypore\u2013Brahmapur\u2013Bhubaneswar economic corridor into a six-lane highway. The improved road connectivity, he noted, would ease patient mobility and stimulate economic activity across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Koraput project is not just about constructing a building,\u201d Majhi said. \u201cIt is a pledge \u2014 to bridge healthcare gaps in South Odisha, empower communities with access to quality services, and restore public confidence in our state\u2019s health system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inauguration was attended by senior state officials, healthcare professionals, and community leaders, who hailed the project as a turning point for medical services in one of Odisha\u2019s most underserved regions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
