Urban Health Push in Patna: 21 Local Centers to Offer Free OPD Services Under Smart City Mission

Patna: In a bid to ease the burden on civil hospitals and make primary healthcare more accessible to citizens, Patna Smart City Limited is all set to launch “Urban Health and Wellness Centers” across 21 public utility spaces in different city wards. These centers will provide free outpatient (OPD) services, diagnostics, maternal and child care, and basic emergency aid.

The initiative aims to serve up to 50% of OPD patients who would otherwise crowd the city’s overloaded civil hospitals. The project is expected to roll out soon, with doctors already appointed at each center.

Key Services at Urban Health & Wellness Centers:

• Basic treatments for fever, cold, cough, and minor injuries
• Maternal and child healthcare, including antenatal checkups, newborn vaccinations, and nutritional counseling
• Free tests for anemia, blood analysis, and free distribution of essential medicines
• Yoga training, awareness drives on communicable diseases, and family planning services

Smart Healthcare, Local Access

Officials from Patna Smart City Limited said the move is part of a long-term urban healthcare strategy to decentralize basic medical services. “These centers will act as the first point of care for thousands of urban residents, cutting down unnecessary hospital visits and improving healthcare outcomes,” an official stated.

The centers are designed to support the Ayushman Bharat Urban Health Mission goals and aim to cater especially to vulnerable urban populations.

As monsoon illnesses begin to rise and access to healthcare becomes critical, the timely launch of these centers is expected to offer much-needed relief to Patna’s citizens.
