Make doctor's appointments, get lab reports on one platform: Delhi CM rolls out hospital management system
'Appointments can be scheduled from home, eliminating long queues. Once a patient presents their health card, treatment can begin immediately,' she said.
Along with the HIMS, Gupta also launched 34 new Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, and 8 new Jan Aushadhi Kendras (JAKs).
Addressing the event at the Delhi Secretariat, the CM said over 93 lakh ABHA IDs (Ayushman Bharat Health Account IDs) have also been created, providing every resident with a digital health card.
'This card will allow citizens to access medical services in any hospital, anywhere, based on their medical history,' she noted.
She also said the digitisation of hospitals is a reflection of the Capital's progress and commitment to quality healthcare.
While inaugurating the Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, the CM said, the new centres will soon be dedicated to the public by MLAs in their respective constituencies.
The government is planning to open 15 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs in every constituency operating as primary health centres, offering multiple lab tests and essential services, she added.
The event also saw Health Minister Dr Pankaj Kumar Singh announcing the government's plans to establish 1,139 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs across the Capital.
The CM also claimed that corruption in medicine procurement has been effectively eliminated.
'All purchases are now processed digitally. We addressed the issue of overpriced medicines earlier by opening Jan Aushadhi Kendras. To strengthen healthcare delivery, we have also initiated permanent recruitment. Over 1,350 nursing positions that had remained vacant for over a decade have now been filled,' she added.

Delhi CM Gupta inaugurates multispeciality hospital in Kailash Colony
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday inaugurated the SSB Multispeciality Hospital in Kailash Colony, which promises to offer round-the-clock medical services at reasonable rates, officials said. The hospital features advanced services such as robotic knee replacement facility and has dedicated departments for gastroenterology, respiratory care, nephrology, and neuro and spine surgery, they said. Hospital chairperson Shyam Sundar Bansal said it will soon apply for empanelment under the Ayushman Bharat health insurance scheme of the Centre. Speaking at the event, Gupta said according to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, India has less than one hospital bed available per 1,000 people, stressing that such challenges can be addressed if the government and the private sector work in tandem in a focused manner. Delhi government aims to develop the national capital into a global medical hub, drawing patients from across the country and abroad, she said. The chief minister mentioned the recent installation of an advanced machine at the GB Pant Hospital that can generate a complete DNA profile from just a single drop of blood as a step in this direction. She also claimed that many hospitals constructed during the tenure of the previous (AAP) government were left incomplete or lacked sufficient resources. "We are now bringing all such hospitals under the public-private partnership (PPP) model to ensure their full-scale functioning," Gupta said. BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj and local MLA Shikha Rai were present at the inauguration ceremony.

Smoke forces locals to shift elderly, kids to other places
1 2 3 4 5 6 Kolkata: The blaze at the Dey's Medical factory on Bondel Road on Saturday afternoon spread panic in the Ballygunge neighbourhood as thick plumes of black smoke shrouded the locality. Residents rushed out of their homes or ran up to their terraces or onto their balconies to witness the incident unfolding. Those living adjacent to the factory evacuated as a safety measure and took refuge in others' homes. The streets nearby soon became packed with onlookers, watching the firefighting operation. As the smoke from the fire, which started in the pharmaceutical section of the factory, spread, residents of the adjacent Ballygunge Place East locality were among the first to spot it. The Gupta family at 23, Ballygunge Place East had just finished their lunch when they heard a commotion outside. "We heard people shouting on the street, and I stepped out onto the balcony to see what was happening. A huge plume of dark smoke hit me in the face," said Raju Gupta. "I rushed back inside and told everyone to leave the house immediately." His aunt, Asha Gupta, recalled the panic that followed: "There were six of us at home. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Flexible Program BITS Pilani Digital Apply Now Undo The house started filling up with smoke.

Sharmishtha Som, a resident of 1C, Ballygunge Place East, said she didn't think twice before evacuating. "I saw the smoke coming from the factory, located barely 100m from our home. I bolted all the windows and ran outside with my family," she said. "One of our family members is a senior citizen, whom we sent to a safer place. We won't go back until it's fully under control. " Several other residents of Ballygunge Place East stepped out of their homes to check the situation. Many put on masks to avoid inhaling fumes. "My domestic help told me about the fire so I came out to check if everybody was safe," said Avantika Daga, a resident. Several onlookers gathered on the street, watching in silence as flames leapt from the roof of the factory. Elderly residents stood on balconies, covering their faces, visibly shaken by the sight. "The smoke was so thick and it spread so fast that it became almost difficult to breathe. I was worried about my grandmother whom we shifted to a relative's place down the lane," said Sunny Sharma, a resident of 39, Bondel Road. Rajiv Jain, businessman, sent his son, daughter-in-law and their newborn baby to a mall nearby. "I didn't want to take chances as we have a newborn at home," said Jain. Neeraj Sarah, who lives behind the factory, also shifted his ailing mother to a relative's place. "I didn't want to take a risk, given her health condition. We also evacuated but we remained in the area," said Sarah. While the fire was brought under control in the next couple of hours, residents remained uneasy. Many spent the evening outside, waiting for the air to clear. (inputs by Debobrata Shome) Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !
