Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday proposed integrating Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Delhi State Cancer Institute, and Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital into a single “super medical hub” modelled on the lines of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).

In her post on X, CM Gupta said, “GTB Hospital, Delhi State Cancer Institute, and Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital are being integrated and developed into a super medical hub on the lines of AIIMS. This will increase bed availability, simplify the process of tests and referrals, and reduce waiting times so that every patient can receive timely, fast, and better treatment.”

Earlier on Sunday, she had highlighted the broader vision for Delhi’s public healthcare system.

“Major government medical institutions in Delhi, such as Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital (GTB), Delhi State Cancer Institute (DSCI), and Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital (RGSSH), are being integrated and developed into an autonomous and empowered institution on the lines of AIIMS. This will enable millions of patients from Delhi and surrounding areas to access better, modern, and specialised medical facilities at one place.

“The quality of treatment will improve, services will become more streamlined, and high-level healthcare will become more accessible to the general public than before. This step is a significant initiative towards a strong and reliable healthcare system in Delhi.”

The proposed integration comes as part of the government’s efforts to address the uneven distribution of patients across hospitals.
