A new chapter in alternative medicine dawns in Jharkhand, courtesy of central approval for an Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital. Minister Irfan Ansari, fresh from Delhi discussions with Union MoS Pratap Rao Jadhav, confirmed the state’s long-awaited milestone.
Until this nod, Jharkhand had no such specialized college. The scheme mandates government and private entities to build comprehensive facilities, blending Ayurveda with patient care. Broader talks yielded approvals for Japanese-tech labs in all med colleges and Ranchi Sadar, promising precision diagnostics locally.
This addresses a core issue: reducing outbound patient travel. MBBS seats at key colleges like Dhanbad and Jamshedpur jump to 250 from 100, with PG boosts post-inspection. 60:40 funded Wellness Cottages across districts and Abua scheme aid round out the package.
Jadhav’s praise for Jharkhand’s health framework, voiced in the presence of officials including Ajay Kumar, hints at deeper ties. These developments position the state as a hub for integrated healthcare, empowering communities with accessible, advanced options.
