The event saw active participation from the Director, Medical Superintendent, Ayushman Nodal Officer, department heads, and doctors of IGIMS.

On the occasion, Shashank Shekhar Sinha, Chief Executive Officer of the Bihar State Health Society, urged department heads and doctors to ensure that under both Ayushman Bharat and the state’s health scheme, needy beneficiaries receive quality, free treatment seamlessly.

Challenges related to the procedural aspects of implementing the schemes at IGIMS were also discussed, with solutions proposed.

Dr. Binde, Director of IGIMS, stressed the importance of resolving procedural barriers to provide effective care under the scheme and suggested future coordination meetings between the institutions.
