The state government has launched an aggressive execution-driven campaign to fast-track hospital infrastructure projects, strengthen monitoring mechanisms and modernise healthcare planning across the state. The initiative marks a significant shift from routine project reviews to strict accountability-based implementation aimed at ensuring timely delivery of critical healthcare infrastructure and improved patient services.
For FY 2026–27, the Haryana Government has made a massive budgetary provision of Rs. 815 crore under State Budget Head for major healthcare infrastructure projects, marking an unprecedented increase of nearly 288 percent compared to the Rs. 210 crore allocated during FY 2025–26. Demonstrating the government’s strong execution-focused approach, Rs. 203.75 crore has already been released to PWD B&R during the very first quarter of the current financial year to accelerate construction activities across the state.
In comparison, during FY 2025–26, approximately Rs. 210 crore had been transferred to PWD B&R for healthcare construction works. Chairing a high-level review meeting of ongoing health infrastructure projects, Additional Chief Secretary, Health and Family Welfare, Dr. Sumita Misra directed all concerned departments to adhere strictly to revised timelines and warned that further delays in healthcare projects would not be tolerated.
The review covered a broad range of healthcare institutions including Sub-Health Centres, Primary Health Centres, Community Health Centres, District Civil Hospitals, Mother and Child Health (MCH) buildings, Critical Care Blocks, TB Centres and specialised shelter facilities. Taking a tough stand on delayed works, the government directed the Public Works Department (Buildings and Roads) to fix responsibility in cases where projects have suffered prolonged delays.
Specific instructions were issued to expedite pending works at several major healthcare institutions across Haryana. Among key projects under accelerated execution is the 100 to 200 bedded expansion block at Civil Hospital, Ambala Cantt, where the remaining work has now been re-allotted and construction is underway with a completion target of February 2027.
Residential accommodation works for hospital staff in Ambala have been ordered to be completed by May 30, 2027. At CHC Siwani in Bhiwani district, directions were issued to identify accountability for delays and complete the remaining work on priority. In Gurugram district, officers were directed to jointly inspect the Sub Divisional Hospital, Farrukhnagar and ensure completion of all pending works within one month for immediate handover to the Health Department.
Similarly, the upgradation of Civil Hospital Sector-10, Gurugram from 100 to 200 beds is progressing under a fixed completion schedule ending March 2027. Major expansion projects are also being closely monitored in Hisar and Mahendragarh districts.
At Narnaund in Hisar, authorities have been instructed to complete and hand over the ground and first floors of the upgraded 100-bedded hospital by June 15, 2026, while the entire project is targeted for completion by September 2026. In Mahendragarh, the expansion of the existing 50-bedded hospital into a 100-bedded facility is under active review, with the government seeking faster financial clearances and responses on pending estimates.
In Palwal district, revised timelines have been fixed for the completion of CHC Hassanpur and CHC Mandkola projects, while in Rewari, the Health Department has sought detailed clarifications regarding escalation in project costs and action taken against contractors for delays in the PHC Akera project with residential quarters.
In another major reform initiative, Haryana has introduced Third Party Quality Assurance mechanisms through the Quality Assurance Authority (QAA) & PWD B&R Haryana for all new healthcare infrastructure projects. Independent audits and regular reporting systems will now monitor project quality and transparency to ensure higher construction standards.
To further strengthen institutional oversight, the government has designated a dedicated nodal officer for health infrastructure projects to improve coordination and facilitate quicker resolution of project-related bottlenecks. The review also placed strong emphasis on improving patient convenience and service quality in district hospitals.
All CMOs and PMOs have been directed to conduct joint inspections of renovation works along with PWD engineers every fifteen days and submit reports to State Headquarters regularly. Special focus areas identified for immediate improvement include cleanliness of hospital premises, functional toilets, uninterrupted drinking water supply, fully operational air-conditioning systems and reliable DG power backup arrangements.
Taking note of repeated thefts of expensive bathroom fittings in hospitals, the government has also decided to install durable high-quality plastic taps in public areas to minimize recurring losses and maintenance issues. The review meeting also examined delayed works in Karnal district, where PWD B&R has been directed to submit detailed reports regarding reasons for delays and corrective action taken.
Further directions were issued for approval of estimates for residential quarters at PHCs wherever construction has already commenced. The government has also taken serious note of stalled works linked to contractor disputes.
In the upgradation project of Civil Hospital Narnaul from 100 to 200 beds, officers were instructed to remove all contractor machinery and material lying within the campus within the next 15 to 20 days to prevent obstruction and facilitate further action. As part of Haryana’s long-term healthcare vision, Dr. Misra directed that specialised private consultants with expertise in hospital planning, civil engineering and healthcare infrastructure design be engaged for upcoming projects, especially Critical Care Blocks under the Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission.
This initiative will create technologically advanced, patient-friendly and future-ready healthcare institutions aligned with modern healthcare standards.

In addition, PWD B&R has been directed to prioritise horticulture and green landscaping works in district hospitals to create greener and cooler hospital environments while reducing heat pockets within campuses. Pending renovation works in 10 district hospitals have also been ordered to be completed on priority.
The state government is simultaneously accelerating work on Maternal and Child Health (MCH) projects. At Panchkula, Principal Medical Officer has been directed to complete all pending works within 15 days and hand over the building for occupancy. Similarly, the newly constructed MCH Panipat has been ordered to be completed and handed over within one month.
