In this eye-opening ground report from Nalanda, reporter Raghav Trivedi brings you the harsh reality of Bihar’s crumbling healthcare system. What was once known as the land of ancient wisdom and education is now struggling with a healthcare crisis that reflects decades of neglect, corruption, and apathy.
 
From overcrowded wards to broken equipment, and from absent doctors to helpless patients, every corner of Nalanda’s district hospital tells a story of pain and frustration. Patients wait for hours — sometimes days — for basic treatment. Families run from one counter to another for medicines that are either unavailable or too expensive. The infrastructure is falling apart, and those who are supposed to manage it seem nowhere to be found.
 
Raghav speaks directly to patients, doctors, and hospital staff to understand what went wrong. Are the doctors really to blame, or is the system itself collapsing under political ignorance? Is Bihar’s healthcare budget being spent where it’s needed most — or just on paper?
