In order to provide best available treatment to the residents, the Delhi Government has planned to reserve half of the beds available at its super-specialty GB Pant Hospital for the residents of national Capital requiring specialised treatments. According to the official sources, an order is issued by Delhi's Health Department recently regarding the same. As per the order, the GB Pant Hospital located in Central Delhi will house or admit those patients who are referred by other Delhi Government hospitals and require specialised intervention in form of treatment or surgeries. "It has been decided that 50 per cent of the total beds shall be reserved for patients, who fulfil the following conditions — they must be residents of Delhi, they should have been referred by another Delhi Government hospital and the admission should be required for specialised treatment or for planned surgeries," as per the order. The GB Pant Hospital claims to offers super specialty treatment to about 3 lakh patients in the OPD and almost 15,000 patients in general and private wards every year. The order states that the facility seeks to provide 'timely' and 'best available' treatment for patients who are residents of Delhi.
