In December last year, the institute had set up a nephrology department. AIIMS-Patna director Dr Gopal Krushna Pal said that they could expand their healthcare services due to the new recruitments of faculties at different branches. The nephrology department also began after the arrival of new recruits.
Speaking to TOI, Dr Pal said, "Even cardiology and neurology department, which were closed after super specialists had left, has again been made functional." He added that there is a good inflow of patients to these new facilities.
