Rao Tula Ram Memorial Hospital, located at Village Jaffarpur in South-west District of Delhi is one of the five peripheral hospitals envisaged in early eighties to reduce overcrowding in larger central hospitals and to provide secondary health care to the citizen nearer to their place of residence.

The Hospital Cell of Directorate of Health Services GNCTD oversaw its plan and construction. It prepared the manpower and equipment plans and got approval of the EFC of Delhi Govt. RTRM Hospital.
