Delhi health minister addresses concerns of Resident Doctors, Promises Infrastructure Improvements

"Ensuring the safety of our healthcare professionals is a top priority. We are taking immediate steps to enhance security throughout the hospital," the minister said, news agency PTI reported.

During the meeting, some resident doctors raised concern over the quality of food in the hostel and the condition of hostel toilets.

Bharadwaj instructed the hospital administration to address these issues promptly and warned that failure to do so would result in strict action against the hostel management.

He also emphasised the importance of proper facilities for doctors to manage fatigue and maintain their wellbeing.

"Our doctors work tirelessly to care for patients and it is crucial that they have access to adequate facilities to rest and refresh themselves," Bharadwaj said, adds PTI.

The minister's visit to the hospital focused on reviewing the existing infrastructure and training arrangements, the statement said.

He also highlighted the need for better chairs, tables and water dispensers in doctors' rooms and classrooms dedicated to their training.

"We are committed to ensuring that all necessary equipment is available to provide the best possible training for our resident doctors," Bharadwaj said.

Doctors take care of people's health, he said and asked how they could ensure the wellbeing of Delhiites if they themselves were not provided with good food and a clean environment, the statement said.
