CM Rekha Gupta Rolls Out NextGen HIMS for Easy Online OPD Appointments
New Delhi: In a bid to create an affordable and accessible healthcare system in Delhi, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday launched the NextGen Health Information Management System (HIMS). The newly introduced system enables patients to book OPD appointments online, receive digital OPD slips, and access their health records in real time.
She also inaugurated 34 Ayushman Mandirs and eight Jan Aushadhi Kendras.
The HIMS, based on the NextGen e-Hospital software, integrates Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) IDs, allowing for secure and centralised tracking of patient health data, officials said.

Gupta described the HIMS as a crucial step towards transparency and efficiency in public healthcare.
"It's a huge relief for the people of Delhi, who will no longer have to stand in long queues or run from pillar to post. Everything is going digital," she said, according to PTI news report.
The 34 Ayushman Mandirs inaugurated by the CM are located in Shilampur, Kalkaji, Burari, Yamuna Vihar, Gandhi Nagar, Malviya Nagar, Shakur Basti, Paschim Vihar and Begaumpur, among other areas.
The officials said these centres will offer a range of primary health services, including vaccination, maternal and child care, wellness counselling and yoga sessions.
Health Minister Pankaj Singh said the government has set up a total of 68 Ayushman Mandirs within a month, and that Delhi's health infrastructure is being strengthened rapidly.
The current government is focused on delivering results and completing unfinished projects that were pending for years, he said. "This is not a government of advertisements, this is a government that works." The eight new Jan Aushadhi Kendras, which will offer essential medicines at subsidised rates, have been opened in government hospitals for the welfare of the economically disadvantaged, reports PTI.
Singh said 17 such centres were opened earlier this year, and more will be added in the coming months.
