Delhi’s healthcare landscape is transforming dramatically. CM Rekha Gupta revealed a masterplan to unify GTB Hospital, Delhi State Cancer Institute, and Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital into an AIIMS-like autonomous powerhouse.
The decision stems from a recent Secretariat meeting under Gupta’s leadership. Discussions highlighted inefficiencies: RGSSH’s 400 empty beds amid GTB’s overload of 1,500+ patients on 1,400 beds. OPD figures paint a stark picture—GTB sees 14 lakh visits, DSCI 1.27 lakh, RGSSH 2.87 lakh yearly.
Integration will redistribute super specialties smartly. Cardiology, gastro, nephro, and more at RGSSH; comprehensive oncology at DSCI; multi-department upgrades at GTB including neurosurgery and eye care.
Underutilized high-tech gear—bronchoscopes, linear accelerators, cath labs, bone banks—will be pooled for maximum impact. Gupta stressed that scattered resources and staff shortages hinder progress; unity will unlock their potential.
Health Minister Dr. Pankaj Kumar Singh joined the strategy session, pushing for bed optimization and patient flow. Separately, IHBASE will evolve into National Institute of Mental Health & Neurosciences-2.
This bold reform positions Delhi as India’s healthcare vanguard, delivering efficient, expert care to every resident and beyond.
