CAG report paints grim picture of Delhi's public healthcare system under AAP rule

New Indian Express  

A new report by the Comptroller and Auditor General has painted a grim picture of Delhi’s public healthcare system under the Aam Aadmi Party government. The findings, which are yet to be officially tabled in the Delhi Assembly, expose serious shortcomings in critical and emergency services at government hospitals, contradicting AAP’s claims of a healthcare revolution over the past decade. According to the CAG report, more than half of Delhi government-run hospitals do not have ICU facilities, and nearly 60 per cent lack blood banks. At the sole Delhi government-run trauma facility, Sushruta Trauma Centre, the report found no permanent arrangement for specialist doctors and senior residents to provide 24-hour emergency services.
