The report accused the government of adding 394 beds in hospitals, opening 292 in place of 1000 Mohalla clinics, with information that 97 dispensaries were down as compared to 2014. On Mohalla clinics, Dr. Sahasrabuddhe said that these clinics are not an alternative to primary health care centers. The haste to open these shows that the Delhi government is focused only on numbers.

On this occasion, BJP MP from South Delhi Ramesh Bidhuri targeted AAP and promised to open 900 Primary Health Center. Mohalla clinics were pretended to mislead the poor. Most clinics remain closed. Vigilance's investigation found equipment in Delhi government hospitals not up to standard.

The Delhi government did not even get it investigated, while the Delhi High Court has also said that the Delhi government hospital lacked infrastructure. Malaria and dengue were controlled by the BJP-ruled MCD and are being credited by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The poor of Delhi are being deprived of the benefits of Ayushman Bharat Scheme. New Delhi MP Meenakshi Lekhi said that the Chief Minister had promised to add 30,000 beds, but only 394 beds were added.

promised 5 beds arrangement per one thousand people, but available only 2 beds. In 56 months, only 7 new beds could be installed every month. Not a single primary health center was opened. Lack of infrastructure, not just doctors, paramedical staff in the hospital. The operation theater of Pant Hospital is closed, but the government is unfazed.

The declining health of Delhi can be clearly seen in NITI Aayog's Health Index. Delhi has slipped two places to 5th position in the index of 7 union territories. Director of the research center, Dr. Sumit Bhasin, quoted RTI as saying that there is 66 per cent shortage of lecturers in Delhi hospitals, while 34 per cent of doctors, para medical staff, OT technicians, 29 per cent shortage of lab technicians, shortage of nurses 22 Percent, 40 percent of the administrative staff and 38 percent of the workforce.

As soon as the elections begin, the Congress party has become an attacker on the Delhi government. The party has made several allegations against the Delhi government regarding the poor health system. The Congress said on the basis of the figures that the number of patients has increased continuously, but neither the number of hospitals nor the doctors has increased. The Delhi government did no work for five years to improve the health system.

Mukesh Sharma, the Congress's chief spokesperson, said at the press conference that AAP had come to power by promising to build 21 new hospitals. Land also exists, but hospitals were not built. Thousands of people are dying of cancer. Dilshad Garden Cancer Institute has 7809 cancer deaths in the last five years. 46 percent of the amount was not spent in the five-year budget.

493 appointments were made on 820 approved posts for appointments to other posts including doctors. Janakpuri Super Specialty Hospital is super specialty only. Four operation theaters are closed at Loknayak Hospital. A 500-bed college hospital was to be built in Dwarka. The Congress had increased 4900 seats for medical studies during his reign. AAP has not opened any new college.

Why treatment in private hospital, answer you
Congress questioned Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal if Delhi's government health model is so good So why did he treat himself and his family in a private hospital? Why the government treasury was spent in its treatment.

12 lakh 80 thousand was spent on the treatment of Kejriwal and his family, while Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia spent 13 lakh 21 thousand rupees. Similarly, more than 7 lakh rupees were spent in the treatment of Delhi government minister Gopal Rai. The Health Minister should resign on the basis of morality.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that all treatment is free in all government hospitals and Mohalla clinics in Delhi. Whether it is poor or rich. If an MRI is not being done in a government hospital, then that person can get it done in a private hospital and the Delhi Government is paying for it.

On the other hand they will not be treated under the Ayushman Bharat Scheme of the Central Government. Nearby are scooters, fridges, mobiles and monthly salary of more than 10 thousand rupees. People from UP and Haryana come to Delhi for treatment.
