Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today inaugurated the Baba Baidyanath Medical Trust Hospital in Deoghar, Jharkhand. The state-of-the-art 750-bed hospital will make the healthcare more advanced in Deoghar.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Sarma paying obeisance to Baba Baidyanath, said that the Baba Baidyanath Medical Trust Hospital has been established in Deoghar through a joint initiative of the Baba Baidyanath Medical Trust and P.D. Hinduja Hospital and Medical Research Centre. He said that a medical college would also be established at the site in the future. The Chief Minister expressed hope that the hospital would play an important role in providing advanced healthcare services to the people especially those belonging to the economically weaker and middle-income sections of society.
Referring to the development taking place in Deoghar and Godda in Jharkhand, Sarma said that the region now has an airport, AIIMS, railway connectivity and a ring road.
He said that the development achieved in the Godda parliamentary constituency under the leadership of MP Nishikant Dubey has set an example for the entire country. Continuing this momentum of development, another major hospital has now been inaugurated in the constituency.
Drawing upon his experience of serving as Assam’s Health Minister for nearly 15 years since 2006, Sarma observed that the architecture and design of a hospital also play an important role in determining its success. Expressing satisfaction with the facilities of the newly inaugurated hospital, including its ICU, emergency unit and general wards, he said that the hospital has been designed keeping the convenience of ordinary people in mind. He noted that, rather than leaving the entire process to architects, MP Nishikant Dubey and Dr. Anamika Gautam, Chairperson of the Trust, have given considerable thought to the design and construction of the hospital.
Referring to Chairperson Dr. Anamika Gautam, the Chief Minister said that the objective behind establishing hospitals under the Baba Baidyanath Medical Trust is not profit-making but public service. Therefore, instead of partnering with a professional healthcare group, the Trust has collaborated with an organisation like the Hinduja Group, which had established its first hospital in Mumbai to assist refugees who came to India from Pakistan during partition. He expressed hope that the vision of MP Nishikant Dubey, the hard work of Dr. Anamika Gautam and the medical expertise of the Hinduja Group would transform the hospital into a great temple of public service.
