Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya inaugurates multiple Health Facilities at the Safdarjung Hospital

New Delhi, September 16: Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Mansukh Mandaviya, inaugurated several patient-centric facilities at Safdarjung Hospital today.

 

 

These included the inauguration of a child abuse care and elder abuse care centre in the New Block of the Hospital, the third PM-CARES Pressure Swing Adsorption Oxygen Plant of capacity 1 MT and the new makeshift hospital at the hospital premises. He also released a booklet “Quality ki Baat” and presented the Hospital an entry level NABH accreditation Certificate.

 

 

 

Mandaviya highlighted that commitment, dedication of doctors are crucial pillars of healthcare and form the foundation of the Central Government Hospital: “Hospitals and doctors are two sides of same coin. One cannot function without the other. Doctors may not realise this because of their dedication and focus on their work but they enjoy tremendous respect in the society. Their commitment in protecting us from Corona has vastly increased this respect. The Hospital should be a natural extension of this ethos.”

 

Narrating his recent visit at the Hospital a few days ago, the Minister pointed out scope for improvement in easing burden of patients and their relatives coming to the hospital.

 

Pushing the hospital community to make it a model hospital for entire India, he urged doctors to defocus from the point of view of individual and view the functioning of the entire hospital as a team so that the functioning of the hospital can be made seamless. He hoped that this will act as an impetus to change the image of the hospital.
