Delhi CM Rekha Gupta Criticizes AAP's Health Policies Over Unused Medical Resources

Rekha Gupta accuses the previous AAP government of mismanagement, citing unused medical equipment and incomplete infrastructure in Delhi hospitals.

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta alleged that medical equipment worth crores, including oxygen concentrators and ventilators, has been lying unused in government hospital warehouses since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gupta criticized the AAP's health model, describing it as poorly planned, with semi-permanent hospital structures left incomplete and unusable despite significant expenditure.
A Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report highlighted irregularities in Delhi's public healthcare spending during AAP's tenure, including unutilized resources and alleged inflated procurement costs.
Hospital staff in several facilities have reportedly not been paid for six months, compounding the challenges faced by Delhi's healthcare system.
Gupta called for accountability from the previous AAP government, questioning the wastage of funds and resources while promising to address the issues.
