LG approves creation of 4,002 posts for doctors, paramedics
Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena has approved the creation of 4002 posts of doctors and medical/paramedical staff in four government hospitals, on the recommendation of the Rekha Gupta government.
These posts, including those of surgeons, senior resident doctors, specialists, staff nurses, nursing attendants, technicians, para-medical staff, administrative officers, clerical and security staff, were necessitated following an increase of 1515 beds in these hospitals, namely Guru Gobind Singh hospital at Raghubir Nagar, Ambedkar Nagar hospital at Dakshinpuri, Sant Durbal Nath Ji Trauma Centre at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial hospital, Mangolpuri and Shri Dada Dev Maitri Avum Shishu Chikitsalaya at Dwarka.
Lok Niwas official said that post creation will enhance patient care and service enhancement, reduce the doctor’s burden, streamline recruitment and overall improve the functioning of the government’s hospitals. As these four hospitals are located in different parts of the capital, it will also reduce the burden on major government hospitals like GTB, Lok Nayak, GB Pant and other government hospitals located in Central Delhi areas.
“The Delhi Government’s Health Department had proposed the creation of various categories of posts in these government-run hospitals, where new blocks had been constructed and additional beds operationalised, but there was no provision for additional manpower to cater to the enhanced capacity. After vetting by the Administrative Reforms Department and Finance Department, the Lt Governor approved the proposal for creating 4002 posts, out of which 3031 posts will be filled by permanent recruitment, while the remaining 971 posts will be outsourced,” the official said.
According to a press statement issued by Lok Niwas, the maximum number of 1737 posts have been created in the Sant Durbal Nath Ji Trauma Centre at Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, where a 362-bed new trauma block was operationalised and inaugurated on 17.09.2025. Similarly, 666 additional posts have been created at Ambedkar Nagar hospital to cater to the enhancement of 400 beds.
Guru Gobind Singh Hospital, where 472 new beds have been added, will get an additional 1491 posts, while at Shri Dada Dev Maitri Avum Shishu Chikitsalaya, 520 additional posts have been created to meet the requirement for 281 additional bed capacities in the coming days.
