Jalna’s healthcare landscape, like many other regions across India, is shaped by a mix of indigenous and Western medical practices. For centuries, local healthcare was shaped by traditional practitioners such as vaidyas and hakims, who relied on indigenous knowledge systems and natural remedies. Over time, this foundation has been supplemented by the growth of formal healthcare institutions and the gradual introduction of specialised medical services across the district.
Healthcare Infrastructure
Much like other regions in India, Jalna’s healthcare infrastructure follows a multi-tiered system that involves both public and private sectors. The public healthcare system is structured into primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. Primary care is provided through Sub Centres and Primary Health Centres (PHCs), secondary care is managed by Community Health Centres (CHCs) and Sub-District hospitals, while tertiary care, the highest level, is delivered through Medical Colleges and District Hospitals.
Supporting this structure is a network of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) who, as described by the National Health Mission, serve as “an interface between the community and the public health system.” Over time, this multi-layered healthcare model has been continuously shaped and refined by national healthcare policies and reforms to provide universal health coverage across regions.
Jalna’s organised healthcare infrastructure, like much of India, has its origins in the colonial era, which laid the groundwork for the system in place today. Missionary initiatives during this time also played a significant role in shaping the region’s medical landscape. In fact, according to local accounts, the Church of Scotland Mission established Jalna’s first hospital, known as the Mission Hospital, in 1896. This hospital, operated by a charitable trust, continues to provide medical services to the community to this day.
Alongside these early efforts, state-supported health services gradually emerged. By the early 20th century, these included key institutions such as the District Civil Hospital (Zilla Rugnalay) and the Women’s Hospital. It is worth noting that Jalna was carved out as a separate district relatively late, in 1981, from Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. As a result, the pace and pattern of institutional development in the area may have differed from older administrative districts.
In recent years, Jalna’s healthcare system has seen further expansion through efforts by local trusts, non-governmental organisations, government initiatives, and individual practitioners. In 2021, a portable hospital was introduced through a collaboration between Mastercard and the American India Foundation (AIF), adding temporary beds and ICU capacity in the district. Under the Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Jan Arogya Yojana (MJPJAY), around 22 private hospitals in Jalna have also received support to provide subsidised healthcare services.
The following year, in 2022, a Regional Mental Hospital was established in Jalna. It is important to note that public mental health services in Maharashtra have historically been limited, with only four regional mental hospitals serving the entire state for several decades. Hence, before this, Jalna, along with other districts in the Marathwada region, relied on the Regional Mental Hospital in Nagpur, which served a large area and was often overburdened. The new facility marked a significant shift in improving access to mental healthcare in the region.
Medical Education & Research
Medical education and research form an important part of Jalna’s healthcare system. As noted by Mathew Gerge (2023), medical institutions in India generally serve a “dual purpose” by training healthcare professionals and providing services to the local population. Both public and private institutions contribute to this sector.
Indian Institute of Medical Science & Research (IIMSR)
The Indian Institute of Medical Science & Research (IIMSR) is a private minority medical college located in Warudi, Badnapur taluka of Jalna district. Established in 2013, the institute is affiliated with the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) and is recognised by the National Medical Commission (NMC), formerly the Medical Council of India.
IIMSR was founded by the Jamia Islamia Ishaatul Uloom Trust under the leadership of Ghulam Mohammad Vastanvi. The institute offers an undergraduate program leading to the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree. The program has a duration of 5.5 years, which includes a one-year mandatory internship.
