The Delhi government is undertaking a major expansion of Guru Gobind Singh Government Hospital, which will include the establishment of a new medical college. This ambitious project aims to create a comprehensive 1,322-bed medical complex.
The first phase, to be completed by December 2026, involves fully commissioning the existing hospital's 572-bed capacity, including a recently inaugurated 472-bed extension block. Around 300 beds are currently operational, with the remainder expected to follow staff recruitment.
The second phase, targeted for completion by December 2027, will see the commissioning of an adjacent 850-bed general hospital. Following its handover, most departments will relocate, transforming the extension block into a dedicated maternal and child hospital.
The final phase, scheduled for completion by December 2028, focuses on establishing the new medical college on the existing hospital campus. This will add 150 MBBS and 40 postgraduate seats, significantly enhancing medical education and public healthcare capacity in West Delhi.
