Summary
- Eleven government hospitals will operate under a public-private partnership.
- The plan is expected to add over 10,000 beds, including critical care.
- Private agencies will complete construction and manage hospital operations.
The Delhi government is pushing forward with a significant expansion of its healthcare infrastructure by proposing a public-private partnership model for eleven new government hospitals. This strategic move aims to accelerate the completion of long-delayed projects and enhance medical service delivery across the capital.
The initiative involves inviting bids for a detailed feasibility study to assess the viability of private sector involvement in constructing and operating these facilities. The plan is projected to introduce an additional 10,073 beds to the city's healthcare system, with a substantial allocation of 4,314 intensive care unit beds.
Under the proposed framework, private entities will manage the completion of ongoing construction and subsequent operational management of these hospitals. This approach seeks to leverage private expertise and efficiency while the government maintains overall supervision, ensuring enhanced access to medical services for residents.
