Specialist doctors will be available in the state's government hospitals under the "on call" system so that serious patients can get timely treatment.

Health and Family Welfare Minister Arti Singh Rao has said the new system is being implemented for doctors in government hospitals under the public private partnership (PPP) model. With this initiative, specialist medical services will be made available even in rural and remote areas. Specialists will be available for services like anesthesia, surgery, radiology, gynecology and paediatrics. She said in the initial phase, this service was being made available in five districts -- Hisar, Jind, Mewat, Sonepat and Kaithal.

The Health Minister further said this was a pilot project, which would later be expanded to the entire state. This scheme will not only provide high quality medical facilities to the patients, but will also reduce the need for referral system at the district level. The aim of the state government is to provide timely, quality and accessible health services to every citizen.

The minister also noted that this initiative was part of the government’s broader effort to strengthen health services through technology, decentralisation and innovation. She added, “Our government is committed to providing accessible, affordable, and quality healthcare. This is not just a policy shift — it is a people-centric reform aimed at saving lives and improving health outcomes.”
