As of July 17, 2026, Delhi's Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has significantly expanded the city's primary healthcare infrastructure.

These centers are designed to offer comprehensive primary care, including nearly 80 types of free diagnostic tests. They emphasize disease prevention, early detection, timely treatment, and health awareness, encouraging healthier lifestyles through regular check-ups and exercise. The government has stated its intention to establish around 1,100 such facilities in the near future.
In addition to healthcare, CM Gupta also inaugurated development projects worth approximately Rs 14.3 crore in the Tri Nagar assembly constituency. These projects included significant upgrades to road and drainage infrastructure, as well as civic amenities. Further, eight roads developed by the Public Works Department at a cost of about Rs 6.3 crore were also inaugurated.
