NEW DELHI, JAN. 10. The Delhi Chief Minister, Sheila Dikshit, today emphasised the need for making super-speciality hospitals especially for women in the Capital. Addressing the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of Lok Nayak Jaya Prakash (LNJP) Hospital here, Ms. Dikshit said: "This would not only help fight the ever-growing malice of gynaecological and obstetrics-related diseases but would serve as a one-stop facility centre for women in Delhi." Taking the opportunity to declare that facilities being offered by the LNJP Hospital would be further expanded, Ms. Dikshit said that more than 400 beds would be added to the existing 1,600 beds and called upon the medical fraternity and health department's officials to constantly work for the upgradation of services and facilities offered by the hospitals even in the wake of growing pressure on population on medical institutions. "About 30 to 40 per cent of the patients visiting the Government hospitals in Delhi were from outside and this put a great pressure on the health infrastructure. However, the Government was constantly on its toes by increasing the number of beds in existing hospitals and upgradating them and opening up new hospitals," said Ms. Dikshit, who launched the hospital's website and released a platinum jubilee celebrations souvenir on the occasion. The Delhi Health Minister, Yoganand Shastri, said that health facilities were being developed progressively by opening new super-speciality hospitals in different parts of the Capital. The Principal Secretary (Health), S.P. Aggarwal and the Medical Superintendent of LNJP Hospital, B.K. Ramteke, also expressed their views on the occasion. The programmes pertaining to platinum jubilee would be celebrated throughout the year and various health facilities would be added in LNJP Hospital in the forthcoming days.
