Dr Maharana, who was fondly called the ‘Crisis Manager’ at the SCB Hospital, breathed his last while undergoing treatment for brain stroke at the Neurosurgery Department of the hospital. He suffered a brain stroke in January this year due to high blood pressure and has been under treatment at the SCB Medical College and Hospital for nearly a year.
Dr Maharana underwent surgery under the supervision of Dr Sudshanshu Shekhar Mishra, Medical Superintendent and Senior Professor of the Neurosurgery Department.
While his wife, son, and daughter were present beside his deathbed, several members of the medical fraternity and well-wishers visited the SCB Hospital after learning about his death.
Dr Maharana has been associated with the SCB Medical College and Hospital for five decades. He joined the SCB Medical College in 1973 to pursue an MBBS course. He passed his PG from SCB Medical College in 1983 and started practicing medicine as a Casualty Medical Officer there and gained fame.
After retirement, Dr Maharana was appointed the Emergency Officer at the SCB Medical College and Hospital and played a crucial role in crises like the Bahanaga rail accident.
