Jharkhand’s health sector is under siege from needless politicking, warns Minister Dr. Irfan Ansari. In a strongly worded statement following a high-level RIMS board session in Ranchi, he called on every political outfit to back the pivotal RIMS-2 development, essential for fortifying the state’s medical backbone.
Patient influx at RIMS has hit historic highs, a testament to faith in public services. Yet, this boom demands smarter systems for handling crowds, a focus of the recent deliberations. Dr. Ansari outlined comprehensive upgrades: new hires, lab enhancements, and staff welfare to deliver seamless, respectful treatment.
‘My mission is simple—send every patient home cured,’ he declared. On RIMS-2 roadblocks, he rejected accusations of hidden agendas. ‘Help me build this without funding fears dictating outcomes,’ he beseeched opponents.
The human cost is stark: Jharkhand families crisscrossing borders for advanced care, draining savings, and confronting mortality far from roots. Dr. Ansari’s voice cracked as he recounted cases where even final goodbyes occurred out-of-state—a plight he vows to eradicate.
With hands clasped in supplication, he rallied leaders: unite for RIMS-2 to safeguard lives and elevate healthcare standards. This isn’t about electoral gains; it’s about humanity. Jharkhand stands at a crossroads—will politics prevail, or will pragmatism heal?
