She said the complex would soon be put to use for the benefit of public after appointing doctors, nurses, technical experts and installing modern equipments.
"The under construction Block 'B' will be completed soon and the government will start a new medical college," she said amid prolonged thumping of desks by all members of the House, barring the opposition DMK, which has been boycotting the Assembly proceedings.
Ms Jayalalithaa said all sections of the people in the state, especially the poor and the down trodden, would get quality treatment for various types of diseases free of cost at the new hospital.
She said the government had decided not to use the new legislative complex, built by the previous DMK regime, as it was not sufficient to house all the 36 departments and was not conducive for discharging day- to-day official work.

It may be recalled that the AIADMK, after coming to power in May this year, had also decided to function from the old Secretariat at Fort St George.
