National Doctors' Day: A celebration under crisis

July 01, 2025

Orissa POST

As Odisha gears up to observe National Doctors’ Day (July 1), the occasion is tinged with concern. While heartfelt tributes honour the dedication of medical professionals, the state’s healthcare infrastructure tells a troubling story — more than 74 per cent of specialist posts in Community Health Centres (CHCs) lie vacant.

National Doctors' Day: A celebration under crisis

Out of 1,500 sanctioned posts, only 386 are filled, exposing a severe shortfall that continues to hamper rural healthcare delivery.

The issue was recently acknowledged in the state Assembly, where Health Minister Mukesh Mahaling admitted to the acute shortage of specialists. For millions living in Odisha’s remote districts, this crisis means delayed diagnoses, restricted treatment options, and long, often unaffordable, journeys to urban centres for even basic specialist care.

Orissa POST spoke to experts to understand the root causes behind the persistent vacancies — and why filling these critical roles remains a daunting challenge.
