New Delhi, Jul 6 (UNI) Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy CM Manish Sisodia on Monday visited the Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital (RGSS) to review the preparedness of the hospital to treat the Covid-19 patients.
As the city observes a steady increase in the number of Corona cases, the Delhi government has ramped up the installation of ICU beds in RGSS hospital from 45 to 200, and in LNJP hospital from 60 to 180, which are both COVID dedicated hospitals in Delhi.
Briefing the media following the visit, Mr Kejriwal said, "Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital is playing an important role in our fight against Corona. The LNJP Hospital of the Delhi govt was the first hospital in the city which was declared a COVID Hospital, and then RGSS Hospital was declared a COVID hospital. Since then, the paramedic staff, doctors, and nurses are serving the people of Delhi day and night. Nobody showed any hesitation. Everyone is scared and cautious of Coronavirus. But the paramedic staff, doctors, and nurses at RGSS hospital have done a selfless job by treating Corona patients tirelessly."
