Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has announced that seven ongoing hospital projects in the capital will be redeveloped as Super Specialty ICU Centres dedicated to specific critical illnesses.

The seven hospital projects—located in Kirari, Sultanpuri, Sarita Vihar, Shalimar Bagh, Raghubir Nagar, Geeta Colony, and Dilshad Garden, were initiated during the Covid-19 pandemic to expand healthcare infrastructure. However, most projects are incomplete, with some only 50 percent finished due to funding gaps, bureaucratic hurdles, and planning issues.

CM Gupta, while inaugurating a private super specialty hospital in Model Town, stated, “The government is redeveloping these seven incomplete hospital infrastructures into Super Specialty ICU Centres, each focused on specific categories such as cancer, transplants, or high-risk deliveries.” The government is considering public-private partnerships to expedite completion.
