Delhi Chief Minister Rekha GuptaPatients can now make doctor’s appointments, get lab reports, view and pay their medical bills at Delhi’s government hospitals — all through a single digital platform, said Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta as she digitally inaugurated the Hospital Information Management System (HIMS) on Thursday.
“Appointments can be scheduled from home, eliminating long queues. Once a patient presents their health card, treatment can begin immediately,” she said.
Along with the HIMS, Gupta also launched 34 new Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, and 8 new Jan Aushadhi Kendras (JAKs).
Addressing the event at the Delhi Secretariat, the CM said over 93 lakh ABHA IDs (Ayushman Bharat Health Account IDs) have also been created, providing every resident with a digital health card.
“This card will allow citizens to access medical services in any hospital, anywhere, based on their medical history,” she noted.
She also said the digitisation of hospitals is a reflection of the Capital’s progress and commitment to quality healthcare.
While inaugurating the Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, the CM said, the new centres will soon be dedicated to the public by MLAs in their respective constituencies.
The government is planning to open 15 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs in every constituency operating as primary health centres, offering multiple lab tests and essential services, she added.
The event also saw Health Minister Dr Pankaj Kumar Singh announcing the government’s plans to establish 1,139 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs across the Capital.
The CM also claimed that corruption in medicine procurement has been effectively eliminated.
“All purchases are now processed digitally. We addressed the issue of overpriced medicines earlier by opening Jan Aushadhi Kendras. To strengthen healthcare delivery, we have also initiated permanent recruitment. Over 1,350 nursing positions that had remained vacant for over a decade have now been filled,” she added.
