Finally! My father had to wait for weeks for a CT scan at a govt hospital last year. We ended up paying a fortune privately. If this reduces waiting times and provides early detection, it will save so many families from financial and emotional distress. Good work.

The intent is commendable, but I'll believe the "eliminating disparity" part when I see it. Often, these high-profile inaugurations happen, but the ground reality of overcrowding, shortage of doctors, and long OPD queues remains. Hope this is followed by systemic improvements.

As someone who has lived in Delhi for 5 years, the upgrade in public health infrastructure is noticeable. A dedicated neuro ICU is a big deal. It's not just about machines; it's about saving critical time in emergencies. This benefits everyone in the NCR region.

Excellent news! Heart disease and stroke are leading causes of death. Having a state-of-the-art facility in a government hospital means life-saving treatment is not just for those who can afford Apollo or Fortis. This is true public service. Jai Hind!

Hope they also focus on patient experience and cleanliness. World-class machines are one thing, but the overall environment in our government hospitals needs a hug too. More power to the doctors and nurses who will run these new units! 💪
