The Odisha government has introduced comprehensive guidelines to ensure the safety of doctors, medical students, and healthcare workers across institutions. Key measures include regulated entry points with boundary walls, mandatory ID cards for employees, visitor pass systems, 24x7 security personnel, and CCTV surveillance. These actions follow the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata, which sparked nationwide protests.

Both states aim to address safety concerns and create a secure working environment for healthcare professionals. The initiatives have been welcomed by the medical community, who emphasize the need for strict implementation.
