Delhi hospitals to get 3,000 more beds: Sheila
Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: The Delhi Government is working on increasing the present capacity of 15,000 beds in all of Delhi’s hospitals by adding nearly 3,000 more beds in the next few years.
Speaking at the foundation laying ceremony of a 200-bed hospital at Chhattarpur on Tuesday, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said her government had been striving to provide reliable and advanced medical care to the people at their doorstep.
She said the government had been concentrating on rural areas of the Capital so that villagers do not have to rush to hospitals in faraway places.
Ms. Dikshit said 12 hospitals had been commissioned in rural areas. “The government is now in the process of constructing 17 new hospitals to provide better health care in all parts of the city,” she added.
The Chief Minister, who was accompanied by Health Minister Yoganand Shastri and Outer Delhi MP Sajjan Kumar, said the Chhattarpur hospital would cater to the needs of nearly 5 lakh residents in a number of villages, unauthorised colonies and even localities situated in Haryana close to the Delhi border.
