As part of the upgrade plan, the three-floor GMSH-16 building presently housing services related to childbirth will be razed to make way for a state-of-the-art mother and child healthcare centre.

The Chandigarh health authorities are planning to shift childbirth-related medical services to the civil hospital in Sector 22 from Government Multi Specialty Hospital (GMSH), Sector 16, where infrastructure upgrade is expected to start in the next two months.
