Delhi govt added only 394 new beds in hospitals between 2015-2018

Op India  

Despite harping about Delhi government’s initiatives in public healthcare sector, the reality seems far from what is advertised. Arvind Kejriwal led Aam Aadmi Party government in national capital informed the state assembly on Monday that only 394 new beds are added in government hospitals between 2014-2015 and 2017-2018. Jain said that there were 10,959 beds in Delhi’s government hospitals in 2014-15 and as per the annual report of 2018-19 of the health department, there were 11,353 beds in 2017-18. Aam Aadmi Party’s 2015 Assembly election manifesto promised to increase total bed strength in Delhi hospitals to 40,000 and had even said that the strength would be doubled in first two years. Mohalla Clinic has also been under scanner after the Vigilance Department received complaints that the Mohalla Clinics’ doctors were seeing a very high number of patients during their stipulated clinic hours, which was practically not possible.
