He pointed to patients sharing beds, toilets unfit for use, and bedsheets not changed for weeks, calling the situation a sign of "double jungle raj" under the ruling alliance.
His remarks came a day before Prime Minister NarendraModi’s scheduled visit to the state.
Tejashwi visited GMCH on Saturday night and shared visuals of his inspection on X.
He wrote, "Last night, a surprise inspection was conducted at the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Purnea.
Watch a glimpse of the deplorable state of the healthcare system under 20 years of NDA in the video."
He highlighted the absence of an ICU, non functional trauma and cardiology departments, and unclean toilets. He also said multiple patients were being made to share single beds.
"This is a medical college and hospital, but there is no ICU here. The trauma centre is not operational. There is no cardiology department, i.e.,
no heart disease department. Three patients are made to lie on a single bed. Bedsheets of patients are not changed even after 15-20 days.
The toilets for patients with orthopaedic issues and those requiring disability related surgeries are two feet high. There is absolutely no cleanliness," he wrote.
The RJD leader claimed that only 55 nurses were working at the hospital in three shifts, against a sanctioned strength of 255.
He alleged that 80% of doctors’ posts were vacant, with just four OT assistants for the entire hospital.
He added that several departments were closed, professors existed "only in name," and medical interns had not been paid for six months.
"GMCH is a Medical College Hospital, but out of the sanctioned 255 nurse posts, only 55 nurses are working, and that too in three shifts.
This means only 18 nurses are on duty at a time. If some are on leave, the number is even lower.
80 per cent of the doctor posts at GMCH are vacant. There is not a single permanent dresser at GMCH.
