Lady Dane Hospital Building
The District Medical Hub: This structure, which is the current DMO (District Medical Officer) Office, is often located in a newer wing or an adapted section of the original Lady Dane Hospital complex near the Clock Tower. While the "Old Building" (mentioned as Serial No. 7) may house the Mother and Child Hospital or other offices, the DMO Office represents the modern administrative and public health nerve centre of Faridkot District. This building stands as an example of the continuous, evolving use of the historical hospital complex for contemporary civic administration. It represents the modernization of healthcare governance in the district, where public health policies and medical planning are now managed.:
