JAIPUR / KOTPUTLI-BEHROR
In a major boost to healthcare accessibility, residents of Pawta and its surrounding rural areas in the Kotputli-Behror district received a significant gift. A state-of-the-art Block Public Health Unit (BPHU) laboratory was officially inaugurated at the Pawta Sub-District Hospital. With the opening of this high-tech facility, local citizens can now access 122 types of essential medical diagnostics entirely free of cost.
The laboratory was formally inaugurated on Wednesday by the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Mr. Jogaram Patel, who unveiled the plaque and cut the ceremonial ribbon.
Relief from Expensive Diagnostics: No More Traveling to Big Cities

Key Free Tests Available at the Lab Include:
- HbA1c (3-month average blood sugar test)
- TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone test)
- Anti-CCP (Advanced arthritis diagnostic)
- Serum Vitamin B12 & Vitamin D3
- Serum Calcium
- TEC (Total Eosinophil Count)
Digital Report Delivery: To maximize patient convenience, the hospital administration announced that test reports will not only be provided as physical hard copies but will also be sent directly to patients’ mobile phones via SMS or WhatsApp, saving both time and travel expenses.
Strengthening Healthcare at the Grassroots: Minister Jogaram Patel
Addressing the gathering after the inauguration, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Mr. Jogaram Patel emphasized that the state government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Mr. Bhajan Lal Sharma, is fully committed to delivering robust healthcare services to the remotest villages (Gaon-Dhani) of the state.
He stated:
“The government’s primary objective is to ensure that no citizen is deprived of medical treatment due to financial constraints. Alongside strengthening the basic infrastructure of public hospitals, millions of families are being provided with cashless, quality treatment through the Chief Minister Ayushman Arogya Yojana.”
The Minister also interacted with the doctors and nursing staff, reminding them that infrastructure and advanced machinery are only effective when paired with empathy. He urged the medical fraternity to maintain a compassionate approach, ensuring every patient who visits a government facility feels respected and cared for.
Local MLA Highlights Resource and Staffing Needs
During the event, Viratnagar MLA Mr. Kuldeep Dhankhar highlighted the ongoing public welfare development projects in the region. He placed a strong emphasis on the need to quickly fill vacant medical posts, secure early appointments for specialist doctors, and ensure the steady supply of advanced medical equipment at the Pawta hospital so that residents can access super-specialty level care locally.
