He hoped the new hospital will go a long way in meeting the healthcare requirements of the region. “With the inauguration of this hospital, people of this area will not have to go to other cities for better treatment. All medical facilities with advanced technologies are available here”, the CM said.

“The capacity of this hospital will soon be increased to 1,000 beds. The Centre also played an important role in setting up of this medical college”, the CM said.

As per a media report in TOI, ''All its buildings are earthquake resistant. These buildings were constructed while following the environmental norms. The residential accommodation for the college principal, hospital superintendent, doctors, para-medical employees and students have been provided within a campus. A 'Dharamshala' also has been built on the campus to provide temporary stay to the relatives of patients, a health department official informed.

''This hospital was named as 'Shriram Janki Medical College and Hospital' because the land for the institute was donated by Shriram Janki Math. The Central government too has helped in the establishment of this hospital,'' the CM.

Others present on the occasion included Union Minister of State (MoS) for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, several Bihar ministers and local MLAs of the area.
