The state health department has moved its headquarters to the newly built Kharavela Bhawan in Bhubaneswar, according to the latest report.
The Odisha Health Department announced the relocation of its main office to the Kharavela Bhowan, a modern government building in Bhubaneshet. The shift, effective immediately, aims to improve administrative efficiency and provide better access to health services for staff and the public. Officials said the new premises offer upgraded facilities, including dedicated spaces for policy planning, record management, and patient outreach.
The move was carried out during the early morning hours to minimize disruption. Staff members were required to transport documents and equipment, while the department's website was updated with the new address. Local health officials highlighted that the Kharavela Bhowan is centrally located, allowing easier coordination with hospitals and health agencies across the state.
Stakeholders, including health NGOs and community leaders, have welcomed the change, noting that a modern office can enhance the department's capacity to address pressing health challenges, such as maternal mortality and disease surveillance. The department now operates from the new address, committing to transparent reporting and improved service delivery.
