Kalinga Hospital - A super star hospital
concept was conceived by NRI from Orissa in around 1989. That hospital
is none other than Kalinga Hospital. Out patient services at Kalinga
Hospital started in February 1997 and in August 1998, the hospital with
175 beds was fully operational.
In the past year the hospital is running with full occupancy. Some of
the days they are refusing patients for admission to the hospital. The
Hospital Corporation of Orissa (HCO) is making its best effort for
expansion of beds at Kalinga Hospital as well as keeping an eye to
improve the patient care. Kalinga Hospital gets all the patients from
other hospitals as well as other nursing homes in around Cuttack and
Bhubaneswar area. The open heart surgery and angioplasty results are as
good as any hospital in the country. Neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons,
plastic surgeons, urologist perform very complex surgical procedures
with great success. Cardiology, nephrology and intensive care services
are the busiest and undoubtedly the best department in the state. At
Kalinga Hospital, 750 cleft lip and palate surgery has been done with
collaboration of Smile Train Program of the World.
