delhi Pradesh congress Committee President Devendra Yadav has targeted the aam aadmi party government. He said that the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) of delhi has received a complaint related to corruption in the health Department. Devendra Yadav has demanded the intervention of the Lieutenant Governor, alleging corruption in delhi hospitals.
Devendra Yadav said, "Work is going on on the projects related to 24 approved hospitals of the delhi government, whose total cost is Rs 5,590 crore, more than the cost has been spent while the work is not yet completed. Rs 1,125 crore was sanctioned for seven ICU hospitals with 6,800 beds, but even after three years, only 50 percent of the work has been done. Out of 94 planned multipurpose clinics, only 52 have been built. Their cost has mysteriously increased from Rs 168.58 crore to Rs 220 crore, it should be investigated. Most of these clinics are lying idle now''.
Devendra Yadav said that the hospitals which are to be upgraded are also running years late. He asked health Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj that his predecessor should tell what he did to make a list of essential medicines and monitor all kinds of hospital projects.
Devendra Yadav said, ''The situation is such that there is a shortage of 38000 doctors, specialists, paramedical staff and other staff in delhi hospitals. There was a promise to open 1000 Mohalla clinics but only 541 were opened, while most of these Mohalla clinics are a den of corruption and a home for animals and heaps of garbage are lying around them. The acb report revealed that more than 65000 fake patients were tested in just two lab tests, the investigation is still going on. In the year 2013-14, there were 450 dispensaries, which included allopathic, mobile health clinics, school health scheme, which has come down to 228 in the year 2022-23.
