He further explained that a large amount of unumed medical equipment was lying in the same hospital warehouse, including:
- 458 oxygen concentrator
- 140 ventilator
- 36,000 PPE Kit
Rekha Gupta claimed that this situation is not only in a hospital, but of many government hospitals in Delhi, where medical resources are being rotten in vain.
Questions raised on the plight of hospitals built during Korona period
CM Gupta said that 7 Emergency Hospitals were built in Delhi during Korona, but now they have all been victims of plight.
- Buildings were erected without any planning in the parking and sports ground of these hospitals.
- Rading a “POTA cabin” does not make a hospital, but a right health system is required.
- A building in Guru Tegh Bahadur Hospital is still incomplete, and 60% of the work remains.
- These seven buildings were built at a cost of Rs 12 crore, but they are lying idle due to lack of proper use.
