In the 1780s, Maratha rulers set up a small dispensary in Cuttack — its only purpose was to treat sick pilgrims traveling to Puri for the Rath Yatra of Lord Jagannath. Thousands arrived every year, many stricken with malaria, cholera, and exhaustion from the long journey.
That dispensary — through 250 years of history — became SCB Medical College & Hospital, Cuttack. Today: Odisha’s largest and oldest government hospital. 100+ acres. 32 departments. 6,000–7,000 OPD patients every single day.
And now — OPD ticket booking online, from home, in 3 minutes.
