CM Nitish Kumar laid the foundation stone of Lord Buddha International Institute of Medical Sciences (LBIIMS) at Beldari Chak in rural Patna on Saturday and said it would serve as a convergence centre for different aspects of medical science. The institute would be linked with four major places at Nalanda, Rajgir, Bodh Gaya and Vaishali where primary health centres (PHCs) would be opened and, later on, linked with this medical college. The LBIIMS will have 300 beds for poor patients and is first private medical college in the state capital.
This
medical college is being opened by Majestic Overseas Pvt Ltd, a
subsidiary of Medical World for U in the UK. The company is headed by an
NRI, Dr
Ashok Kumar. Dr Alok Kumar is the director and CEO of the company as
well as the project director of the medical college and hospital. Dr
Ashok is the managing director of the UK based company.
The CM said Bihar needs at least 20 medical colleges to meet the national average. Four new medical colleges are being opened by the state government of which the MCI has given permission for Pawapuri, Bettiah and IGIMS in Patna where enrolment has already started. In Madhepura, the building of medical college is under construction and hopefully enrolment of students will start next year. The Union labour ministry is opening a medical college at Bihta also, he said.
He expressed confidence that the LBIIMS project would be completed on time and assured all help from the state government. Praising the efforts and intention of its founders, the CM said since he was laying the foundation stone, his prestige was now involved in this project and asked them not to compromise on the quality of education, treatment and services. Prominent physician Dr S N Arya lauded the CM.
Dr Ashok said he was inspired by the views of Nitish to open this medical college hospital and said the LBIIMS aims to train doctors of different faculties. He said the total project cost is Rs 750 crore which will consist of a centrally airconditioned 900-bed hospital, a dental college, a nursing college, a pharmacy college and a paramedical college. He hoped the project would be completed in five years.
The first phase will comprise medical college with 300-bed centrally airconditioned hospital and nursing college with state of the art operation theatres, ICU, pathological and radiological facilities and accommodation for students and doctors. In the second phase, another 600-bed super-specialized hospital, dental college, pharmacy and paramedical college along with sports complex, food court, multistoried parking and old people home will be set up. Dr Kumar said by March 2015, the first phase would be completed for taking admission in July 2015. source : TOI
