As someone whose family had to travel to Delhi for treatment last year, this development gives me hope. But will the poor actually get access to these "luxurious" facilities? Or will it become another VIP hospital?

Good initiative but Bihar needs 10 more hospitals like this! Also, where are the doctors? Infrastructure without qualified staff is like a car without fuel. Hope they focus on recruitment next.

My father was treated at PMCH last month - the conditions were terrible. This upgrade is much needed! Hope they maintain cleanliness and proper hygiene standards this time 🤞

While healthcare is important, I wish politicians showed same enthusiasm for creating jobs in Bihar. Youth are still migrating to other states for work. Development should be balanced.
