Ranchi sadar hosp model must be replicated in other dists: Irfan
Ansari said, "A total of 126 specialist doctors have recently been recruited, and 144 more doctors are expressing interest in joining Sadar hospitals across the districts. Hospitals have been instructed to submit their specific requirements so that the state can provide essential resources, including CT scan machines and a steady supply of medicines. Sadar Hospital in Ranchi stands as a model of this transformation.
"
He added, "It has operationalized superspecialty services in cardiology, nephrology, cancer care, chest diseases, neurology, urology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, bone transplant, intensive coronary care unit, and cardiac care units. With advanced surgeries such as knee and hip replacements, spine and brain operations, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and complex paediatric procedures now routinely conducted, the hospital has drawn patients not only from across the state but from neighbouring states as well.
"
Ranchi Sadar Hospital currently hosts 25 private super specialists, seven specialists, and 12 private medical officers alongside 29 govt medical officers (MO). Last year alone, private doctors received Rs 2 crore in incentives, and over Rs 69 lakh has already been disbursed this year. Govt doctors, too, have been rewarded, with Rs 6.09 crore given last year and over Rs 60 lakh this year.
Additional chief secretary of the health department, Ajoy Kumar Singh, said, "Efforts are also being made to enhance infrastructure, with the hospital currently operating with 850 beds.
Amrit Pharmacy and Jan Aushadhi Kendra on campus ensure that affordable medicines are readily available. The expansion of superspecialty services to district hospitals is expected to drastically reduce dependency on higher tertiary centres.
"
Sadar Hospital has treated over two lakh Ayushman card holders free of cost. The hospital generated Rs 26 crore in revenue from the Ayushman scheme last year, compared to Rs 19 crore the previous year. Within just three months this year, it has already recorded Rs 14.5 crore in earnings, at a monthly average of Rs 5 crore.

Odisha Health Minister says over 2.6 lakh treated under Ayushman Bharat, Gopabandhu Yojana schemes since April
Bhubaneswar: Odisha Health Minister Mukesh Mahaling has highlighted the state's performance under the Ayushman Bharat and Gopabandhu Jana Arogya Yojana schemes, saying more than 2.6 lakh people have received treatment since April 11. He said Odisha ranks second in the country in terms of enrolment under Ayushman Bharat and accused the opposition of spreading misinformation about the scheme's performance. "Under the Ayushman Bharat and Gopabandhu Jana Arogya Yojana, over 2.6 lakh people have received treatment and benefited within the last three months since its launch on April 11 this year. Odisha ranks second after Uttar Pradesh in terms of enrollment under the Ayushman Bharat scheme... This is a strong slap to the opposition, which had claimed that Ayushman Bharat was not functioning properly in the state. Odisha has secured the second position in providing benefits under both Ayushman Bharat and the Gopabandhu Jana Arogya Yojana," Mahaling told ANI. He credited the success of the schemes to the state government's commitment to healthcare. On April 11, Union Minister JP Nadda launched the 'Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana', 'Gopabandhu Jan Arogya Yojana', and 'Ayushman Vaya Vandana Yojana' in Cuttack, in the presence of Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi. According to the National Health Authority, Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY is the largest health assurance scheme in the world, which aims at providing a health cover of Rs five lakhs per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalisation to over 12 crores poor and vulnerable families (approximately 55 crore beneficiaries) that form the bottom 40 per cent of the Indian population. Last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Odisha government's flagship 'Subhadra' scheme in Bhubaneswar. Under this scheme, eligible women in Odisha aged 21 to 60 years will receive Rs 50,000 over five years, from 2024-25 to 2028-29. The amount will be disbursed as Rs 10,000 annually in two equal installments, directly credited to Aadhaar-linked, DBT-enabled bank accounts.
