Cuttack ( Newshub Desk): SCB Medical College and Hospital is under scrutiny as its MRI and CT scan machines remain non-functional, causing inconvenience to patients and raising concerns about the healthcare infrastructure.
The Odisha State Medicine Corporation (OSMC) has assured that the equipment will be operational by the end of May.
However, repeated delays have prompted the Odisha High Court to intervene, monitoring the progress closely.
Additionally, SCB is preparing to introduce ECG machines for mental health treatment, though installation is expected to be completed only by August.
The prolonged delays have intensified concerns regarding medical infrastructure planning in Odisha.
With the next High Court hearing scheduled for June 19, pressure is mounting on authorities to ensure timely implementation of these essential medical facilities. In the meantime, patients requiring critical diagnostic services continue to depend on alternative healthcare providers.
