The North Delhi Municipal Corporation plans to refurbish the Hindu Rao Hospital to provide better health infrastructure in north and central Delhi. The civic body is planning to develop a 10-storeyed multi-speciality ward and operation theatre. The new multi-speciality block would almost double the capacity of the hospital. Presently, the hospital has a capacity to accommodate 980 patients. The corporation plans to construct three-level underground parking beneath each of the new blocks as the number of visitors to the hospital is expected to go up.
