A 50-bed hospital would soon be set up in west Delhi's Naraina area within 18 months, Delhi's Transport Minister Ramakant Goswami said Thursday.
The Delhi government took the plot spread over 2,700 sq. metres from the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and transferred it Thursday to the Public Works Department (PWD) that would be constructing the building.
"Residents have been demanding a hospital in the area for the past 10 years but there were inter-departmental issues over allotment of land which has now been resolved," said Goswami.
"PWD would construct the hospital within 18 months," he added.
The new hospital would benefit people of Naraina village, Naraina Enclave, Dasghara, Todapur, Inderpuri and other nearby colonies.
"The health department has made provisions for providing advanced equipment in the hospital," said Goswami.
