Patna – Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary inaugurated Tower‑3 of Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH) today as part of the institution’s redevelopment plan. The new wing adds several hundred beds, bringing the total capacity of the government‑run tertiary care centre to 2,500.
The inauguration ceremony highlighted the inclusion of state‑of‑the‑art operation theatres, intensive care units and diagnostic labs designed to meet the growing healthcare demand in Bihar. Officials said the expansion will enable PMCH to handle a larger patient load and reduce referrals to private hospitals.
The project, funded by the state government, is expected to be fully operational within weeks, with medical staff already being deployed to the new facilities. The upgrade aligns with Bihar’s broader agenda to strengthen public health infrastructure ahead of upcoming health initiatives.
Local health experts welcomed the development, noting that the increased bed strength and modern equipment could improve treatment outcomes for both routine and critical cases across the region.
