The district health department has roped in Karnataka s Manipal Hospital Group for converting the Dhanchatani Primary Health Centre, located on the outskirts of the city about 4km away from Telco, into a hospital.
The government primary health centre, built at a cost of around Rs 5crore three years ago, is yet to be inaugurated.
Health department officials said after elaborate discussions with Manipal Hospital Group, they plan to start the hospital in the next three months.
A section of local residents led by Congress s Kolhan spokesperson Jammi Bhaskar had recently approached health minister Banna Gupta and East Singhbhum deputy commissioner Suraj Kumar demanding the inauguration of the hospital at the primary health centre.
