Cuttack: Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday flagged off ‘Hospital on Wheels’ from Gopabandhu Institute of Medical Science And Research (GIMSAR) at Athgarh in Cuttack district.
“Through this doctors and specialists can visit the remote areas of Badamba, Narsinghpur, and Athgarh and serve the people,” said Vaishnaw.
The ‘Hospital on Wheels’ is a full-fledged mobile hospital with all facilities for doctors, nurses, and patients.
It has been developed with an investment of Rs 37 lakhs. It will be implemented in other places if the experiment is successful, he added.
Vaishnaw also assured of constructing an underpass or overbridge at the railway crossing in Ghantikhal. He has instructed railway officials to conduct a survey and prepare the design at the earliest.
