Delhi’s Rural Health Training Centre in Najafgarh has begun providing ultrasound scans as part of an expansion of diagnostic services. The facility opened on 24 October and had completed 148 scans by a review reported by the Union health ministry on 13 November. The ministry said CT and X-ray services are planned for the first quarter of 2027.

In August–October, the hospital reported 94,927 outpatient visits across 10 specialties and 35,985 emergency cases, according to the ministry. An upgrade to a 230-bed hospital is underway.

The centre is targeting December for several specialist clinics, including for thalassaemia and noncommunicable diseases. That is a target date in the centre’s development plan.
