It is pertinent to mention that this hospital was started on February 5, 2020, and would have all facilities such as operation theatre, private rooms, emergency facilities, trauma ward etc. This 30-bedded govt hospital was lying non functional for the last several years and it was only after the efforts of Mr Bharat Bhushan Ashu, that it became operational. A dispensary of ESI Hospital was shifted into this hospital building few months back and since then, it has been fully operational and a large number of area residents are visiting for treatment. New ultra modern equipments have also been shifted/installed here.
