Abstract

Infrastructure is fundamental for any kind of development. Health infrastructure is very essential for quality health output. In this connection, the objective of this study is to explore the health infrastructure available in the state of Odisha and especially in the twin city of Cuttack–Bhubaneswar. It is observed that the health infrastructure available in the state is very poor with large numbers of medical and paramedical posts lying vacant. But the situations in both the cities are quite good because of the private providers. The private hospitals are better service providers than the public hospitals.
