The facility was jointly inaugurated by Dr. Gopal Mishra from the district, MLA representative medical in-charge Dr. Sanjay Kumar, BDO Santosh Kumar, Sub-Divisional Officer Tarnija Kumari, and Dr. Saban Kumar, along with BJP district vice-president Rakesh Roshan and JDU leader Shahnawaz, by cutting a ribbon.

Dr. Gopal Mishra informed that previously, dialysis facilities were only available at the District Sadar Hospital and in Patna. Now, through an initiative by the Bihar government, this facility is being started in sub-divisional hospitals as well. He clarified that eligible patients from BPL (Below Poverty Line) families will receive dialysis services completely free of charge at the hospital.

Dr. Saban Kumar stated that with the commencement of this service, kidney patients from the region will no longer have to travel outside for treatment. They will be able to access better and free treatment locally. Sub-Divisional Officer Tarnija Kumari assured that continuous demands would be made to the government for the expansion of other health facilities at the hospital, aiming to provide all necessary services to patients at a single location. The inauguration ceremony was attended by data operator Akhilesh Kumar, patient welfare committee members Rakesh Roshan, Dev Kumar, Dr. Abhijit, Dr. Jyoti Priya, Dr. Shishir Kumar, ANMs, and other doctors and healthcare workers from the hospital.
