Delhi CM shares plan to integrate three major hospitals into AIIMS-style super medical hub

NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday proposed integrating Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Delhi State Cancer Institute, and Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital into a single “super medical hub” modelled on the lines of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).

In her tweet, CM Gupta said, “GTB Hospital, Delhi State Cancer Institute, and Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital are being integrated and developed into a super medical hub on the lines of AIIMS. This will increase bed availability, simplify the process of tests and referrals, and reduce waiting times so that every patient can receive timely, fast, and better treatment.”

Earlier on Sunday, she had highlighted the broader vision for Delhi’s public healthcare system.

“Major government medical institutions in Delhi, such as Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital (GTB), Delhi State Cancer Institute (DSCI), and Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital (RGSSH), are being integrated and developed into an autonomous and empowered institution on the lines of AIIMS. This will enable millions of patients from Delhi and surrounding areas to access better, modern, and specialised medical facilities at one place.
