What was decided at the meeting
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, chaired a high-level meeting in Chandigarh on the operation and maintenance of Shri Sheetla Mata Devi Medical College and its 883-bed teaching hospital in Sector 102, Gurugram. The meeting decided that patients covered under Ayushman Bharat and those from families earning less than Rs 5 lakh a year will get subsidised treatment and special facilities at the hospital.
“Making healthcare services accessible and affordable for the common people is a priority of the state government,” the Chief Minister said. Industries and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh and Cooperation Minister Dr Arvind Kumar Sharma joined the meeting through video conferencing.
Who will benefit
The decisions cover two groups of patients. First, beneficiaries of the Ayushman Bharat scheme, who hold Ayushman cards, will receive subsidised treatment along with special facilities at the hospital. Second, patients from families with an annual income below Rs 5 lakh will also get quality healthcare at affordable rates. The aim, the government said, is to take the money worry out of treatment for economically weaker families.
One important detail is still awaited: the official statement did not say how large the treatment subsidy will be. That figure has not been officially announced yet, and this article will be updated when the government releases it.
AMRIT pharmacy to open on campus
The Chief Minister also directed officials to open an AMRIT Pharmacy on the hospital campus, so that patients and their attendants can buy quality medicines at low prices. “Along with treatment, getting medicines at the hospital should also be easy and affordable,” he said. AMRIT (Affordable Medicines and Reliable Implants for Treatment) pharmacies sell medicines at discounted rates under a central government initiative.
MBBS seats and fees also discussed
The meeting also took up admissions to the 150-seat medical college. The Chief Minister gave directions on the college’s academic set-up, the number of seats open to students and the fee structure. The official statement did not give the seat break-up or the fee amounts, and those figures have not been officially announced yet.

About the hospital: Gurugram’s first government medical college
Shri Sheetla Mata Devi Medical College is planned as Gurugram’s first government medical college. Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid its foundation stone in September 2019. The college will have 150 MBBS seats and the hospital 883 beds. In April 2026, the Chief Minister announced that 33 per cent of the MBBS seats and hospital beds would be reserved for residents of Haryana.
Readers should note one important fact: construction of the hospital is still under way and is expected to be completed by 31 December 2026, but the date from which patient services will begin has not been announced yet. The decisions taken at the meeting will apply once the hospital becomes operational.

How this connects with the Chirayu scheme
In Haryana, Ayushman Bharat is extended through the Chirayu scheme, which gives eligible families cashless treatment of up to Rs 5 lakh per family per year. From 1 November 2026, Chirayu has also opened to families earning above Rs 3 lakh a year, on payment of an annual premium. The facilities announced for the Sheetla Mata hospital are part of the same push to make quality healthcare affordable for poor and middle-income families.
