Eleven new hospitals are being built and the infrastructure of old facilities is being upgraded, he said, adding 16,000 new beds will be added.

Referring to the upcoming Dusshera and Diwali festivals, the Delhi chief minister said, “We worship Lord Ram.”

“‘Ram Rajya’ is being spoken of. I cannot say that we can reach near ‘Ram Rajya’. But if we imagine ‘Ram Rajya’, it should have good and free education and good and free healthcare for all,” Kejriwal said.

Good education and healthcare should be there for all, whether rich or poor and “our government is trying to work in that direction”, he added.

Delhi Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj and senior officials of the Health Department were also present on the occasion.
