PATNA: State health minister Mangal Pandey on Tuesday announced in the legislative council that at least 1,600 health institutes would be established in the state in the next 15 months. He said taking into account the predicted third wave of Covid pandemic, 40 paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) were being set up – 30 in government medical colleges and hospitals and 10 in sadar hospitals.
Replying to two different questions raised by Congress MLC Prem Chandra Mishra, the minister said establishment of 1,600 health institutes in 15 months would be biggest initiative in the state’s health sector after the independence.
“Tenders have already been floated in this regard. Five health and wellness centres and one primary health centres will be established in each assembly constituency along with 122 community health centres,” the minister said while replying to Mishra’s charge that several health centres in the state were being used to keep animals and stock their food.
