Medical education and public healthcare in Delhi are set to be further strengthened. The Delhi government has taken a major decision to bolster the foundational infrastructure for medical education and public healthcare. As part of this initiative, a new medical college will be established at the Guru Gobind Singh Government Hospital (GGSGH) in Raghubir Nagar. The college will offer 150 MBBS seats and 40 postgraduate (PG) seats. It will be part of a comprehensive 1,322-bed healthcare complex, which will provide a significant boost to medical education, specialized treatment, and improved healthcare services in West Delhi.

Let us look at the scope of the new medical college being established within the Guru Gobind Singh Government Hospital (GGSGH) campus, and see what Delhi’s Health Minister has to say about it.

Medical College to be built across 13 acres
In accordance with the guidelines of the National Medical Commission (NMC), the medical college will be constructed over an area of ​​approximately 13 acres within the existing hospital campus. The associated healthcare infrastructure will include a 472-bed dedicated ‘Mother and Child Hospital’ and an 850-bed ‘General Hospital,’ currently being developed in Raghubir Nagar.

This expansion is particularly significant, as the Guru Gobind Singh Government Hospital currently serves a population of approximately 1 million (10 lakh) people in West Delhi. This infrastructure expansion will further strengthen access to specialized medical services, emergency treatment, and critical care for the residents of the area.

Delhi’s Health Minister highlights its importance
Delhi’s Health Minister, Dr. Pankaj Kumar Singh, has emphasized the significance of the medical college being established at the Guru Gobind Singh Government Hospital (GGSGH) in Raghubir Nagar. Health Minister Dr. Pankaj Kumar Singh stated that under the able leadership of Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the government is committed to building a robust healthcare system—one that encompasses quality medical education alongside accessible and advanced treatment facilities. He added that the establishment of this medical college and the expansion of its associated hospitals reflect the government's dedication to meeting the public's healthcare needs and enhancing the capacity of health services for the future.
