Delhi Govt to start special OPD at Ambedkar Nagar Hospital

Sisodia said the inauguration of the new OPD for women and children at the Ambedkar Nagar Hospital will ensure that they do not have to travel far to avail services.

“The hospital will not only have specialised services to take care of pregnant women but will also be equipped to provide medical facilities for children and women with gynaecological issues,” he said.

The Delhi government’s aim is not only to make its hospitals better than private hospitals but also to make its hospitals the best in the country, Sisodia said.

“New hospitals in Delhi have been made fully air-conditioned. Besides this, by making necessary changes in the existing hospitals, they are also being made air-conditioned,” he said.

More specialised healthcare services are being introduced in hospitals according to demand. The Delhi government is working on the principle of providing quality and equitable health facilities to the people of Delhi, Sisodia said.

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that the Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute told the Delhi High Court that it will start providing free treatment to poor patients to the extent of 25 per cent in the out-patient department (OPD) and 10 per cent in the in-patient department (IPD) from March 1.
