The facility offers services including outpatient, inpatient, laboratory, minor surgeries, pharmacy, antenatal, and child welfare clinic services. It serves an average of 20 patients per day. The facility has a total of 30 inpatient beds and 2-day care observation beds with a labor ward that caters to maternity services.
