Medical education and public health services in Delhi will be strengthened. The Delhi government has taken a major step towards strengthening the basic infrastructure of medical education and public health services. Under this decision, a new medical college will be opened in Delhi, under which the Delhi government is going to establish a medical college at Guru Gobind Singh Government Hospital (GGSGH) in Raghubir Nagar. This medical college will have 150 seats for MBBS and 40 seats for Post Graduate (PG). This medical college will be a part of a comprehensive health complex with 1322 beds, which will give new impetus to medical education, specialized treatment and better health services in West Delhi.
Come, let’s know in which area of Guru Gobind Singh Government Hospital (GGSGH) campus the new medical college is going to be established. Let’s know what the Health Minister of Delhi said about this.
The medical college will be built in 13 acres
According to National Medical Commission (NMC) guidelines, the Medical College Hospital will be built on an area of about 13 acres in the existing hospital premises. The associated healthcare infrastructure will include a 472-bed dedicated ‘Mother and Child Hospital’ and an 850-bed ‘General Hospital’, which is being developed at Raghubir Nagar.
This expansion is particularly significant as the Guru Gobind Singh Government Hospital currently provides healthcare services to a population of approximately one million people in West Delhi. Expanding this infrastructure will further strengthen access to specialized medical services, emergency treatment and critical care for the people of the region.
