Once upgraded, SCB MCH will house 3,796 beds and become a regional hub for advanced healthcare and medical education. The facelift includes cutting-edge diagnostic centres, state-of-the-art surgical units, and enhanced academic infrastructure.

...

The CM also outlined a sweeping statewide medical overhaul, which includes expansion plans for four key government hospitals:

VIMSAR, Burla: ₹1,594 crore to raise beds from 1,485 to 2,861

MKCG, Berhampur: ₹1,014.13 crore to increase capacity from 1,583 to 2,033 beds
