The state health, medical education and family welfare department has set a July 15 target for starting services at 500-bed super specialty wing of Ranchi sadar hospital, lying defunct since its construction was completed in 2011. The department has started procedure for appointment of doctors, nurses and other hospital staff besides procuring medicines and medical equipment to run the hospital. Harijan said they had set target of July 15 to start functioning of the hospital with two units—maternity and paediatrics. However, private players did not accept the financial terms of the health department and later the state decided to run it on its own. The health department had informed the court that it would complete the first phase of Sadar super specialty hospital by March 2017.
