Jharkhand to recruit 1200 doctors soon and upgrade CT MRI across hospitals

Blood supply may be outsourced as scanning expands rapidly

Jharkhand plans to recruit over 1,200 doctors to strengthen healthcare delivery. The state will also rope in an external agency to manage blood supply. CT scan and MRI facilities are set to be installed in all medical colleges and district hospitals, alongside efforts to ramp up testing for sickle cell anaemia and thalassemia, with tuberculosis targeted for elimination by 2029.
