In addition to the same, we also realize the importance to extend our care toward the patient attendants too. With Pratikshalaya, we aim to provide comfortable, secured and hassle-free stay for patient attendants undergoing critical treatment. We are sure that if a secured shelter is provided to the attendants who are already heaped with treatment expenses, we can reduce their trauma of finding a place to stay closer to their dear ones.”
The Pratikshalaya is a safe shelter for all patient attendants who helplessly take shelter in the hospital premises, while some stay without shelter at times. The lounge provides round-the-clock check-in and check-out facility and is under CCTV surveillance for better security and protection.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Subash Singh, Chairman, Nirman Shramik Kalyan Board, Govt. of Odisha said, “Odisha, over the years, has emerged as the health capital of our country with patients coming from neighbouring states like West Bengal, Jharkhand and Bihar regularly to avail healthcare facilities.
