The hospital, which started functioning in 1956, caters to the needs of people in the district and from nearby districts. The hospital, with over 750 beds, also treated COVID-19 patients during the first and second waves in 2020 and 2021. The conversion of the hospital into a government medical college and hospital with better amenities was demanded by the populace.
The new block will house five operation theatres, classrooms for house surgeons, and training centres. Each floor will have a construction area of 27,500 sq ft, while the ground floor is exclusive for parking. The first floor will house emergency care, and ICU and the ambulances can reach the ground floor. Also, the seventh floor will be allotted exclusively for patients undergoing treatment under the Chief Minister's Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme.
