In a significant development for healthcare in Bihar, Sitamarhi District Magistrate Richi Pandey announced on Sunday that the Outpatient Department (OPD) services at the upcoming medical college and hospital are set to become operational by the middle of this year. This announcement follows a recent review of the construction and infrastructure progress at the site in Muradpur village, located under the Dumra block.
Infrastructure Review and Progress Assessment
DM Richi Pandey conducted a thorough inspection of the ongoing construction work at the medical college site, where the building and allied infrastructures are being developed with an estimated investment of Rs 665 crore. The review meeting included the presence of national-level officials from the construction company and experts from the health department, ensuring a coordinated effort to meet project timelines.
The DM emphasized that upon completion, this facility is poised to become a landmark in healthcare services for the region. The project aims to enhance medical accessibility and quality, addressing long-standing gaps in local health infrastructure.
Key Details and Future Implications
- The OPD services are expected to commence operations by mid-2024, providing initial medical consultations and basic treatments.
- The construction involves state-of-the-art facilities, including advanced medical equipment and modern hospital amenities.
