In a bid to develop a better health infrastructure in the national capital of India, the Delhi government is working to revamp several existing hospitals to increase the number of beds and also build new hospitals. Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain on Wednesday visited five under-construction hospitals of the Delhi government.

Satyendar Jain made his first visit of the day to Acharya Shree Bhikshu Hospital with the PWD team, where the revamp of the new building of the hospital is underway. He instructed the officials to escalate the existing bed capacity of the new building to around 400 beds. Once ready, this facility will be dedicated to Covid treatment.
