Health Schemes in Bhubaneswar
The Government of Odisha is responsible and concerned to
look into the matter of developing health provisions and schemes for the
general public of the state as well as in Bhubaneswar.
However a few health schemes developed by the central government have also been
implemented.
This is the Aim of the government behind the various health schemes: Health is
a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity. “HEALTH FOR ALL” does not mean an end to
disease and disability or that doctors and nurses will for everyone. It means
that resources for health are evenly distributed and that essential health is
accessible to everyone, It means that health begins at home, in school, and at
the workplace, and that people use better approaches for preventing illness and
alleviating unavoidable disease and disability, it means that people recognize
that ill-health is not inevitable and that they can shape their own lives and
lives of their families, free from the avoidable burden of disease.
