Following the tragic fire that claimed the lives of at least 12 patients at SCB Medical College Hospital in Cuttack, a significant reshuffle has been enacted within the institution's leadership. The Odisha government announced the transfer of key personnel to enhance management and prevent future incidents.
Prof (Dr) Prativa Panda, previously the Dean and Principal of PRM Medical College and Hospital at Baripada, has taken over as the new Dean and Principal of SCB MCH.
