Bhubaneswar, Aug. 18 -- A team of doctors from SCB Medical College and Hospital, State's premiere government-run health unit, today flew to far flung Malkangiri district on the southernmost tip of Odisha to provide critical healthcare facilities as part of air health service under the Mukhyamantri Vayu Swasthya Seva scheme.
The panel of doctors who travelled by air from Bhubaneswar's Biju Patnaik international airport to Malkangiri this morning began attending the patients requiring laparoscopic surgery besides nephrology and neurology treatment.
The panel of doctors will provide treatment to about 250 patients during their four-day stay in the remote district, said an official of the State's health and family welfare department.
