MCD-run health facilities to get revamp at cost of Rs 112 crore: Mayor Shelly Oberoi

Without naming anyone, she alleged that previous governments in the municipal corporation in the last 15 years, “did not do anything” to improve the medical infrastructure of civic hospitals, as their “intention was not right” when they were in power.

The funds received under the capital head will be used for revamping Hindu Rao Hospital and the medical college it is attached to, Swami Dayanand Hospital and Rajan Babu Institute of Pulmonary Medicine and Tuberculosis, among other facilities, she said.

From the funds received under the revenue head, medical facilities will be augmented at various hospitals like Mata Gujri Hospital and Kasturba Hospital, the largest maternity care hospital under the MCD, the mayor said.

The medical facilities under the MCD will be improved in a span of 2-3 years so that people get the best of the facilities at civic-run hospitals and dispensaries, she added.

Asked about the dengue cases reported in Delhi, she said a meeting has been called with the public health department of the MCD later on Monday.
