History

The foundation stone of ILBS was laid in 2003. The first phase of ILBS was built by the Public Works Department (PWD). The first phase was completed in 2009. The formal inauguration of the hospital took place on January 14, 2010 by the Chief Minister of Delhi, Mrs. Shiela Dixit.[4] The second phase of ILBS is being constructed by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and was completed in 2011.

The appointment for outdoor services can be obtained by calling the ILBS number +91-11-46300000, however, patients can be seen directly, even without appointment. A registration charge of Rs. 100 is charged from all new patients in addition to a consultation charge of Rs. 200, which is valid for one week.
