RIMS-2, Ranchi

RIMS-2 is a proposed 2,600 bed super-speciality hospital and medical college in Ranchi, Jharkhand, India.[1][2] The project is being developed by the Government of Jharkhand as an expansion of the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS).[3]

The proposed hospital is intended to expand the healthcare infrastructure in Jharkhand and reduce patient burden on the existing RIMS campus.[4][5]

Controversy

The project has faced protests from local residents and tribal groups over land acquisition at the proposed site in Ranchi district.[6][7]

Several political leaders from Jharkhand, including Babulal Marandi, Champai Soren and Bandhu Tirkey opposed the proposed site and called for relocation of the project.[8][9][10][11][12]
