Manipal Hospital Bhubaneswar has set up a temporary three‑bed medical centre in Puri to serve the influx of pilgrims during the 2026 Ratha Yatra.
The annual procession attracts millions of devotees, many of whom travel long distances; the hospital’s mobile unit ensures that medical help is available on site without the need for pilgrims to detour to crowded city hospitals.
“Our goal is to provide immediate care for any health issues that arise during the festival,” said a hospital spokesperson, underscoring the commitment to public welfare. Source: Google News – Manipal.
