Bhubaneswar, June 5: Trauma care centres across the state are struggling to kick-start, but the government has set its eyes on establishing eight more such units in addition to those it has already claimed to have set up. A reality check revealed that most of the eight centres that the government claimed to have built are yet to become operational primarily due to manpower shortage and non-availability of equipment. \r\nThese centres are being set up under a scheme launched by the ministry of health and family welfare to bring down the number of road accident deaths to 10 per cent by developing a pan-India trauma care network. The ministry is keen to ensure that no accident victim has to be transported more than 50km for treatment. |
