WITH land scarcity seriously hampering expansion of the Rourkela Government Hospital (RGH), there is an increased demand for shifting the city's major health facility to a nearby spacious location.

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ Rourkela

Amid the possibility of the 400-bed RGH getting upgraded to a government medical college and hospital (MCH) in the near future, shifting it to a new spacious campus seems inevitable.

Those advocating for shifting RGH opine that the state government must immediately take back at least 25 acres from the Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) for the purpose. They suggest relocating the hospital to a large parcel of vacant land inside the RSP boundary near Gariatola and Sheetapada slums along Hanuman Vatika bypass road. The new location would be hardly 500 meters from the existing RGH campus.
