The Bihar state administration has formalised an agreement with the Sikh shrine Takht Patna Sahib to establish a new diagnostic imaging facility in Patna.
In a formal ceremony, officials from the Bihar government and representatives of Takht Patna Sahib signed a memorandum of understanding to create a modern imaging centre in the state capital. The MoU outlines joint responsibilities for setting up the facility, which will house advanced diagnostic equipment such as X‑ray, ultrasound and CT scanners.
The centre aims to broaden access to high‑quality imaging services for residents of Patna and surrounding districts, particularly those who currently travel long distances for such tests. By leveraging the religious institution’s community outreach network, the project seeks to reach underserved populations.
Health department officials said the partnership reflects a growing trend of public‑private collaborations that tap into local institutions to strengthen healthcare infrastructure. The imaging centre is expected to complement existing hospitals and reduce the diagnostic burden on the public health system.
Details on the timeline for construction and operational launch were not disclosed, but both parties expressed confidence that the facility will become operational in the near future.
