State Health Department Initiates Hospital Renovation Project
The state's health department is planning to fix up all the hospitals in the districts.
They are making detailed plans to rebuild or renovate buildings, upgrade equipment, and make things better for patients.
The health department decided to do this after a roof fell down at a hospital, which made them realize that improvements were needed.
The first places to get fixed up will be Giridih, Gumla, Jamtara, Ranchi, and Dhanbad.
The goal is to make sure these hospitals have good buildings and services so that they can take care of many patients.
They also told all hospitals to check their buildings for safety.
The health department is preparing detailed project reports (DPR) for hospital renovations.
The initiative covers district hospitals across all 24 districts.
The renovation aims to upgrade infrastructure and medical services.
Work will begin in phases, starting with five districts.
A directive for structural inspections of buildings was issued in May.
