New Delhi: Health Minister Pankaj Singh on Tuesday launched a cashless Delhi Dental Council office and India's first Central Tissue Bank. The two facilities launched at the Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences (MAIDS) set new benchmarks in healthcare delivery and dental education in the country, he said.

The Delhi Dental Council, or DDC, which oversees registration of dentists and ethical practices in the capital, has become the first state dental council in India to introduce a cashless “V-Office” system, news agency PTI reported.

The Central Tissue Bank was established in the Department of Periodontology of MAIDS.

The bank will supply patients with tissue or bone grafts, eliminating the need to purchase such material from the market.

Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that Delhi Health Minister Dr Pankaj Singh announced that the government will add 100 more hospitals under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) in the next 10 days. This move will increase the total number of empanelled hospitals in the capital to 165. The updated list is expected to include prominent private hospitals such as Fortis Healthcare. A formal launch of the expanded network is scheduled for the first week of September.

According to the National Health Authority (NHA), which oversees the implementation of AB-PMJAY across India, 151 hospitals in Delhi are currently empanelled under the scheme—107 private and 44 government-run.
