The national capital is all set to get three new hospitals with 2800 bed capacity in the course of next six month, said a report submitted by the State’s Health Minister Satyendar Jain to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

The Status report highlights a series of measures in terms of infrastructure the Aam Aadmi Party led Delhi Government will be taking up to boost public healthcare delivery system.

“The expansion of public health infrastructure in Delhi is unprecedented. It is the largest program for improving access to healthcare anywhere in the world. The total increase in capacity that is currently underway in terms of bed capacity is more than 122%. But this is not just about the number of beds, but also about the quality of facilities provided,” Kejriwal was quoted as saying by MINT.
