The 100-bed modern RSH was built on 1.78 acres of land in the former Sadar Hospital premises. The construction of the three-storey hospital building was implemented by the Health Engineering Department in the first phase, spending about Taka 31.49 crore in 2019. The process of purchasing necessary equipment and furniture and recruiting manpower is almost at its final stage.
