approved, and the project has now reached the planning and execution stage. According to Amrit, the department is in contact with the excellent consultants in the market, and the goal is to build the best children’s hospital in eastern India.
Amrit revealed about the facilities at the new hospital and the launching time. He said, “All treatment facilities for children will be there at the hospital and we want to make it functional in record time”. This hospital would be Patna’s first government hospital dedicated only to children, and Bihar’s second after a PICU hospital in Muzaffarpur. According to Amrit, the facility, however, will be larger than Muzaffarpur’s PICU hospital, which was also built in a record period.
According to sources, the need for a superspecialty hospital was discussed at a recent top-level meeting of the health department to figure out how to deal with the looming third wave of the Covid epidemic. It was also said that all of the beds in the concerned hospital will be equipped with oxygen.
