Odisha government is formulating a state health policy and vision for 2025 which will be a unique step in extending health service to the people of the state.

The government is also committed to providing qualitative free health care service to the people of the state, Health and Family Welfare Naba Kishore Das said in Bhubaneswar on 20th June while inaugurating the two-day CDMO conference. He said the state government is taking all steps for fulfilling the health care needs of the people of the state through shifting focus from fragmented service delivery approach to comprehensive and determined service delivery system by 2025.

A 100 –day programme would be chalked out regularly to expedite the improvement in the health care service and importance would be given for the improvement of medical service from the PHC to District Head Quarter Hospital, Mr Das said.

He said there would be no dearth of doctors in the state and Odisha would soon become a doctor surplus state. The state government, the Minister said has launched 15 new health schemes to provide universal health service to the people and advised the CDMOs to ensure that these schemes are successfully implemented.
