Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain on Friday visited the Aruna Asaf Ali and LNJP Hospital in Central Delhi to inspect and review the status of the ongoing re-modelling work of the two Delhi Government hospitals.
The AAP Government is re-modelling hospitals to increase the number of beds. The Delhi Government is also constructing a new building at the LNJP Hospital for mother and child care, the Health Minister said.
Jain also visited the LNJP Hospital and inspected the construction site of the new building for mother and child care. In a tweet, Jain stated that the LNJP Hospital has been at the forefront of the fight against Covid. “The current developments are an effort by the Delhi Government to strengthen Delhi's healthcare infrastructure with state-of-the-art facilities so that it could serve the people of Delhi not just in the present time but for several decades,” the office of the Health Minister said in a statement.
In a bid to develop a better health infrastructure in the national Capital, the Delhi Government is working on revamping several existing hospitals to increase the number of beds as well as building new hospitals.
The Health Minister had on last Wednesday visited five under- construction hospitals of the Delhi Government.
“The Delhi Government under the leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is building two new hospitals at Madipur and Jwalapuri. The bed capacity of the Acharya Shree Bhikshu Hospital, Dada Dev Matri Avum Shishu Chikitsalaya and Guru Gobind Singh Hospital is being augmented to around 500, 300 and 572 beds, respectively,” he said.
