NEW DELHI: All Delhi Government hospitals will soon be connected through the Internet so that availability of beds at the State level could be known to facilitate admission of patients and they could be looked after in a better way, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said at a function organised at Maulana Azad Medical College here on Thursday.

The Chief Minister said Delhi, being the national Capital, attracts a large number of people from all other States and even abroad for expert advice and treatment.

As such, there was an urgent need to ensure optimum use of the existing hospitals. Speaking after presenting the Eighth State Awards for Service Doctors/Para-Medical Staff, Ms. Dikshit said these were only a token of recognition for the valuable services rendered by the doctors. She also took pride in the fact that on many an occasion patients visit government hospitals for better treatment after they have tried out the private hospitals.

In all, 69 doctors and paramedical staff were presented the State awards by the Chief Minster. The awards are given by the Delhi Government to doctors for valuable service rendered by them in various dispensaries, health centres and hospitals and also to those who are involved in the success of various national and State-level health programme.

Health Minister Yoganand Shastri said while the doctors receive various facilities like other government employees in performing their duties, words can never be enough to praise the work performed by them.
