Earlier due to the lack of hospital beds during the Covid-19 pandemic, this hospital was used as a dedicated Covid hospital and was known as GMCH covid care. Now, however due to a dip in the number of active Covid-19 cases, the hospital has been officially inaugurated with the aim of decreasing the rush in the Government-run GMCH. Sarma also inaugurated an eye bank at the GMCH on Friday.
