Health Minister Pankaj Singh

NEW DELHI, 6 March (H.S.) : The ‘Ayushman Bharat scheme’

will soon be implemented in Delhi and under this scheme, health coverage up to Rs

10 lakh is available to those over 70 years old.

To improve health services in

the capital, Transport and Health Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh held a meeting with the officials of the Health Department at

the Secretariat on Thursday. The implementation of the Prime Minister’s

‘Ayushman Bharat Scheme’ in Delhi was discussed. After the meeting, the health

minister said that many schemes were discussed; in 100 days, a big change will

be seen in the health services in Delhi. He also said that he will not take

forward any health scheme of the Kejriwal government. He said that all their

schemes are corrupt.

The dentist-turned-politician,

Health Minister Pankaj Singh, said that about 20 percent of children in Delhi

are still not born in hospitals. They are born at home. This puts the lives of

both the mother and the child at risk. Keeping this in mind, a mother-child

centre will be opened in Delhi. Where women, newborn babies, and other people

will get great relief in treatment. The health minister said that 2500 Mohalla

clinics are on rent in Delhi. He claimed that most of the clinics will not run.

The rent agreement of all these will be terminated. The Delhi government will

open such clinics afresh so that people can get treatment.

The health minister said that

private hospitals in Delhi have to admit 10 percent of patients under the EWS

quota. Along with this, 25 percent (economically weaker section) of patients

from the EWS quota have to be seen in the OPD. This will be ensured in all

private hospitals of Delhi; nodal officers will be appointed. The nodal

officers will check the earnings of the hospitals that do not treat patients

under the EWS quota every three months. The health minister said that 10 mobile

dental vans will run in Delhi, which will go to different places in Delhi and

treat people. This will provide convenience to people in dental treatment.

People will not have to go to the hospital for dental treatment. Later, the

number of these vans can be increased.
