Apart from the private and government hospitals and nursing homes, the city has a large network of pharmacies that provide medicines for all kinds of ailments.
Jorhat is fast growing in terms of health infrastructure, but lacks in super specialty treatments.
Doctors and hospital authorities are working in collaboration with the government to set up the super specialty treatment centers and in 2-3 years it will benefit the people in a big way.
