Sisodia said the mohalla clinic in the building will serve the residents of Laxmi Nagar, Pandav Nagar, Trilokpuri and Kondli along with Patparganj so that they don't have to go to farther hospitals for their treatment.

"The government is short of space, so we want to utilise the space available to its maximum capacity.... They can also avail the facility of 212 free health checkups or tests at this clinic. The library at the upper level of the hospital will provide a comfortable space for students to study and the hall will be opened to the senior citizens for recreation purposes," Sisodia said.
