‘Bring action plan on life support system at hospitals’

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has directed Health Minister Satyendar Jain to come up with a “concrete action plan” within a week on providing life support system for critical patients in city government hospitals.
According to a statement released by the government on Sunday, the decision comes in the wake of a media report, according to which, “the life of a newborn child could not be saved since four government hospitals (in Delhi) refused to admit the child citing lack of critical care beds with ventilator facilities”.
“Kejriwal has directed the health minister to submit a concrete action plan within a week to ensure that critical patients requiring life support do not have to run around hospital in times of crises,” it said. (PTI)
