Odisha University of Health Sciences
Odisha University of Health Sciences (OUHS) is a public state medical university located in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, established in 2023 by an Act of the Odisha Legislative Assembly. About
Odisha University of Health Sciences has been established on 5th March, 2023 to cater the much needed quality in medical education for the state of Odisha as an affiliating university ensuring affiliation, uniformity in various medical academic programmes, training and research in Modern Medicine, Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Dental, Pharmacy, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Laboratory and Radiation Technology. History
Odisha was perhaps the only state where medical colleges were being governed by general universities with each affiliated with a separate university. A great disparity has been felt by coming years in areas of uniformity and a lack of nodal agency for the medical education and research in the state. So initially the state government had proposed a health university in the early 2000s, the by-laws and rules for the university were submitted to the government by an expert committee in 2005. After 16 years, the Assembly had given its nod to the Odisha University of Health Sciences Bill on 3rd September, 2021. OUHS has started functioning from its temporary building at Sishu Bhawan Square, Bhubaneswar as per a notification issued by the Health and Family Welfare Department of Odisha on March 5, 2023 (Panchayati Raj and Lokaseva Divas). The new university will provide uniform and quality medical education in UG and PG courses of Allopathy, Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Nursing, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Laboratory technology and other allied medical science courses in the state. For the permanent campus of university,  a committee has been formed to suggest an alternative site of approx. 25 acres in the periphery of Bhubaneswar city. In May 2023, Odisha State Cabinet chaired by CM Naveen Pattnaik approved ₹330.17 crore for the establishment of the university which will facilitate achieving excellence in the field of Medical and Allied Health Education and Research.
