It was started in 1969 as a maternity home before it was converted into a full-fledged general hospital in 1970.[3]

The hospital underwent massive reconstruction after the original building was declared unfit for use in 1999. The new upgrade, at a cost of ₹321 crore, includes more beds, as well as systems for rainwater harvesting and sewerage treatment.[1] The new hospital design includes an infection control design to prevent doctors from contracting tuberculosis while on duty.[4]
