Government vs Private Hospitals
Jharkhand’s PM-JAY network includes both government hospitals (district hospitals, medical colleges, CHCs) and private hospitals. Government hospitals handle higher patient volumes and offer a wider range of basic specialties. Private hospitals often specialise in high-value procedures like joint replacement, cardiac surgery, and cancer treatment.
On PMJAYHospitals.com, each hospital is clearly tagged as “Public” or “Private (For Profit)” so you can choose based on your preference.
