Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday directed officials to finish the expansion of the Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital in Mangolpuri by August 1. Gupta said the under-construction 362-bed trauma block would increase the hospital’s capacity to 662 beds and enhance the existing ICU, parking, and mortuary facilities.

She said that no Delhiite would be denied timely and quality care. During an on-site review of the hospital, Gupta said chronic shortage of beds, staff and medicines in all government hospitals must be “fixed on war footing”.

She said the hospital in Mangolpuri — the area’s only major public facility, handling about 2,700 OPD patients and more than 30 deliveries daily — had been “under tremendous pressure” because the previous government left its new building half-finished.
