It is noteworthy that when the District Hospital was acquired and affiliated to the Medical College Korba, the hospital had the facility of 100 beds. The management had increased the bed capacity to 300 under the guidelines of NMC. For this, additional beds were installed in the old building of the hospital, the casualty building and the trauma center. For a long time there was a demand for construction of a hospital building with 200 beds in the hospital premises. A demand letter for this was also sent by the hospital management. Taking cognizance of the increasing number of patients and the problems being faced, Industries Minister Lakhan Lal Dewangan had sent a proposal to the state government for its approval in the budget. Due to the efforts of Minister Shri Dewangan, a total of Rs 43 crore 70 lakh was approved by the state government for the construction of a hospital building with 200 bed capacity and other facilities.

A 50-bed critical care unit will also be constructed in the district hospital premises for the treatment of serious patients. Apart from this, 100 bed capacity will also be constructed in Medical College Hospital at a cost of Rs 3.5 crore under CSR head. Chhattisgarh Housing Board has been made the implementing agency for this. Through SECL, a 60-bed night shelter will be constructed for the family members to stay.

The orthopedic department of the Medical College Hospital is going to be expanded very soon. On the instructions of Minister Shri Dewangan, equipment installation will soon take place in two operation theater rooms on the second floor of the Trauma Center building. After this, operations can be done simultaneously in both the operation theatres. At present the load on the only operation theater in the old building is high.
