Rahul wrote in X post-
A letter has been written to Delhi CM and Union Health Minister to provide better facilities to the patients and their families coming to Delhi AIIMS from across the country. Recently I saw that they were forced to sleep under the metro station in the freezing cold. Where there is neither provision of drinking water nor toilet. There is also a pile of garbage nearby. Such a large number of patients coming to Delhi AIIMS also shows that people are not getting affordable and good quality health facilities where they live. I hope that taking cognizance of my letter, the Chief Minister of Delhi and the Union Health Minister will take immediate steps to resolve this humanitarian crisis. It is also hoped that the Central Government will take concrete initiatives to strengthen the public healthcare system in the upcoming budget and will increase the necessary resources for it.
8 important things about Rahul’s letter to Nadda-Atishi…
- Hundreds of patients and their family members outside AIIMS Delhi do not have drinking water, toilet facilities. They have thin blankets in the severe cold. There is a lot of dirt around. They are spending days and nights sitting on the metro and footpaths.
- Patients from all over the country come to AIIMS Delhi. Spends money. People wait for months for treatment at AIIMS, the country’s premier medical institute. No one wants such problems. You too must be believing the same. Especially when he is already suffering from serious problems.
- Best and cheapest treatment is available in AIIMS Delhi. The condition of the patients present here and their families shows that health care is still out of reach of crores of Indians. As public representatives, we all should work together to resolve these issues.
- The situation at AIIMS Delhi should be improved as soon as possible. The Government of India should work closely with AIIMS management, Delhi Government and charitable organizations. So that heating, beds, water and shelter can be provided to patients and their families.
- Patients will benefit by reducing the waiting period at all stages of treatment and by informing patients about the waiting period and the time taken to get treatment.
- There is a high load of patients at AIIMS Delhi. Because crores of people are not getting affordable and high quality health services at their place of residence.
- New AIIMS facilities across the country should be operationalized as soon as possible. The base of public healthcare services should be strengthened at all stages in partnership with state governments.
- Central healthcare schemes like Ayushman Bharat should be monitored. So that the out-of-pocket expenses of the patients can be reduced as much as possible. The rapidly growing private health service should be investigated.
