MLA Rohit Pandey drew the attention of the government in the Bihar Assembly regarding the health care of Bhagalpur.
Jagran correspondent, Bhagalpur. MLA Rohit Pandey drew the attention of the government in the Bihar Assembly regarding the condition of health facilities in the urban primary health centers operating in the urban areas of the district. He asked through a starred question whether it is fair that patients have to depend on big hospitals, such as Sadar Hospital, due to lack of adequate beds, modern medical equipment and specialist doctors in these centres.
The MLA also wanted to know from the government whether consideration is being given to developing urban primary health centers as advanced health units with 10-15 beds, providing essential medical facilities, connecting with super specialty hospitals through tele-medicine, setting up centralized control rooms and creating patient coordination teams for patients.
In response to this question, the Health Department told the Assembly that out-patient (OPD) services are regularly available in the primary health centers operating in the urban area of Bhagalpur district and proper treatment is being provided to the patients. The department said that 30 to 32 types of testing facilities including CBC, semi-auto analyzer, sugar have been made available for pathological testing at these centres.
The health department also clarified that there is a plan to develop primary health centers and referral hospitals in the state into community health centers in a phased manner. The post has been created as per the standards and the posting process is going on as per the availability of doctors and health workers. Along with this, action is being taken to develop community health centers as special medical centers under Seven Nishchay-3 (2025–2030).
MLA Rohit Pandey said that in view of the increasing population of Bhagalpur, there is a need to further strengthen the urban health infrastructure and expressed hope that the government's plans will soon come to fruition.
