Why Patna for Treatment
Patna is Bihar’s lifeline for healthcare — virtually all advanced medical treatment in the state channels through Patna. PMCH is one of India’s oldest and busiest government hospitals, while AIIMS Patna is rapidly expanding its capabilities. The city handles an enormous patient load from Bihar’s 38 districts, making it one of the highest-volume PM-JAY centres in India. The Kankarbagh and Bailey Road corridors have multiple private hospitals. Many Bihar patients also use PM-JAY portability to access hospitals in Delhi, Kolkata, and Vellore for super-specialty care.

Government vs Private in Patna
Patna has both government and private hospitals in its PM-JAY network. Government hospitals offer higher volumes and broader coverage, while private hospitals often provide shorter waiting times for elective procedures like joint replacement surgery and cataract operations. Under PM-JAY, treatment is completely cashless at both — the hospital cannot charge you anything.
