The Journey of Jhargram government hospital started from a small dispensary. In 1924 this hospital started its journey as “Chandicharan Datayabya Chikitsalaya” after the memory of Raja Chandi Charan Malladev of Jhargram Royal Family. Later in the year of 1956 it was converted into a full fledged Sub-Divisional Hospital.
In 2012, this hospital got the status of a “District Hospital” as the State Government declared Jhargram sub division as ‘Jhargram Health District’.
On 11th February 2016, Hon’ble Chief Minister Smt. Mamata Banerjee inaugurated Jhargram Super Specialty hospital. Subsequently existing District Hospital was merged with the Super Specialty Hospital. Jhargram Government Medical College is declared as a collaborative effort of State and Central government under Phase-II of Centrally Sponsored Scheme for ‘Establishment of new Medical Colleges attached with existing District/Referral Hospitals’.
