Half of the beds at the Delhi government’s super-speciality GB Pant Hospital will be reserved for Delhiites requiring specialised treatment. A recent order issued by Delhi’s health department recently, the facility would be available at the hospital in central Delhi.
“It has been decided that 50 per cent of the total beds shall be reserved for patients who fulfill the following conditions — they must be residents of Delhi, they should have been referred by another Delhi government hospital and the admission should be required for specialised treatment or for planned surgeries,” according to the order.
The order says the facility seeks to provide timely and best available treatment for patients who are residents of Delhi. The foundation stone of Govind Ballabh Pant Hospital was laid in October 1961.
