Bihar Election 2025: On Sunday, the medical cell of the RJD organized a "Doctor Dialogue" program at Bapu Auditorium in Patna. During this event, Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav spoke extensively about the state of Bihar's healthcare system and its employees. He declared that if the RJD government comes to power in the upcoming assembly elections, the honorarium for 102 ambulance personnel, doctors, lab technicians, and physiotherapists will be the first priority for an increase.
Tejashwi pledged that the payment for the 102 ambulance service, which is currently ₹320, would be increased to ₹540 per call upon the formation of his government. Furthermore, there would be an annual increment in the honorarium aligned with the inflation rate.
Initiation of Public Health Cadre in the Previous Government
In his address, Tejashwi Yadav mentioned that during the 17 months his government was in power, they laid the foundation for a Public Health Cadre. The aim of this scheme was to provide government jobs to over 1.5 lakh young individuals.
