== History ==<br />
<br />
The history of Lok Nayak Hospital traces back to the British India when the Central Jail Complex was made to change to a hospital under the then Viceroy of India [[Edward Wood, 1st Earl of Halifax|Lord Irwin]]. Its foundation stone was laid on {{Date|1930-01-10|dmy}} and under [[Martin Melvin Cruickshank|Lt. Col. Cruickshank]] in 1936 this Central Jail Complex was commissioned to Irwin Hospital.<ref name="auto"/><br />
At that time it was a 350-bed hospital but after the 1947 independence of India there was a sudden rise in the need of more beds as there was an influx of population in form of refugees from neighboring countries and states.<br />
<br />
In November 1977, Irwin Hospital's name was changed to Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital and again in 1989 the name was changed from Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital to Lok Nayak Hospital.<br />
