Odisha signs 10 MoUs to advance healthcare
The government of Odisha, a state in India, made a big promise to make hospitals and health services better.
It signed 10 agreements, called MoUs, with different organisations on Tuesday.
These agreements are like team-up plans between the government and the organisations.
One very important plan is with a famous hospital group called AIIMS New Delhi.
Together they want to make emergency care for seriously hurt people much better.
Hospitals will get better labs, so tests can be checked properly.
There will also be safe restrooms where family members of patients can stay.
Another plan will bring free heart check-ups for children who live far away.
Doctors will also use old Indian knowledge to make medicines.
All of this is to help people get better and more caring health services.
The Odisha government signed MoUs with 10 organisations to advance healthcare delivery, innovation and institutional collaboration.
Health Minister Mukesh Mahaling was present as the State Health and Family Welfare department sealed the agreements.
A priority MoU with AIIMS New Delhi aims to strengthen trauma care, with medical colleges or district headquarters hospitals developed as centres of excellence.
Labs at district and sub-district hospitals will be upgraded to NABL accreditation, and restrooms for patient attendants will be set up in six medical colleges and hospitals.
Agreements also include free heart-screening camps for children in remote areas with Amrita Hospital, Kochi, and promotion of Indian-knowledge medicines by the All India Institute of Ayurveda.
