Patna: CM Nitish Kumar on Saturday launched construction work on the 200-bed Government Unani Medical College and Hospital (GUMCH), which is being built at a cost of Rs 264 crore on the premises of the Nalanda Medical College and Hospital (NMCH), here.
The GUMCH is being constructed in an area of 10 acres, a health department official said on Saturday.
After launching the construction work, the CM inspected the premises. He said the construction of the GUMCH should be carried out swiftly and efficiently.
"Providing accessible, affordable, and quality healthcare to every citizen of the state is our priority. Bihar has always had a deep connection with Unani medicine, so the state govt is working towards strengthening this medical system.
Efforts are also being made to provide the public with excellent healthcare facilities even in Ayurveda, Homoeopathy, and Unani," the CM said.
"On Nov 22, 2021, the CM had visited the existing premises of the Government Unani Medical College and Hospital. At that time, the condition of its building was not good. Therefore, the CM identified another location in Patna and instructed the expansion and construction of new and better buildings.

"Under this project, provisions have been made for a 200-bed hospital, an auditorium with a capacity of 500, a boys' hostel with a capacity of 400, a girls' hostel with a capacity of 350, a medicine manufacturing unit, and housing for the college's faculty and other staff.
A total of 150 students per year will be enrolled in this medical college," the communique said.
"All buildings under construction are equipped with earthquake-resistant structures, solar lighting and rainwater harvesting systems. The college and hospital buildings will be air-conditioned. The project is expected to be completed within 30 months," the communique added.
