The Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Health Minister Satyendar Jain laid the foundation of new block in Moti Nagar's Acharya Bhikshu Hospital. With this expansion of the hospital, the bed strength will increase to 420 which is 150 at present.  According to the Delhi Government, the construction work of new block will complete in 15 months.

Interacting with officials, Kejriwal said that the construction of this block will be completed in the next 15 months by PWD. The services being added to this hospital will be such that even a top private hospital may not be able to provide. The PWD engineers have worked with great excellence."

Commenting on the hospital and its condition before 2015, he said, "Earlier, nobody wanted to be left at the mercy of a government hospital. I have been told many instances about this very hospital I am standing in, about its shortcomings." "But the transformation that I am witnessing today is commendable. With the same MS, the same doctors, the same nurses, etc., the hospital has been transformed. It is not the people who have changed, it is the politics that has. It is you people who have brought in such an honest government that ensures all officials have complete freedom to operate at their full potential," he added.

Jain who was also there said,  "This expansion of Acharya Bhikshu Hospital will ensure people no longer have to be referred to bigger hospitals that are far away. People will get high quality treatment in this hospital itself."
