Three of Five Rescued Orangutans in Odisha Diagnosed with Anaemia, Officials Say

Officials from the Odisha forest department announced that medical examinations have confirmed anaemia in three of the five orangutans rescued earlier this year. The primates were taken into care after being found in distress, and veterinarians are now monitoring their blood health closely. Treatment plans include iron supplementation and dietary adjustments to boost haemoglobin levels. Authorities said the remaining two orangutans are currently stable and undergoing routine health checks. The rescue effort underscores ongoing concerns about the health of displaced wildlife in the state.
