The Delhi government has dedicated 11 advanced CATS ambulances, equipped with high-quality medical equipment, to serve the city's residents.

"Through the Health Ministry, the Delhi government has provided several new services to the people of Delhi.

These ambulances are equipped with high-quality equipment and will benefit the residents of Delhi. By October, we will add 53 more ambulances to this," she said.

She also highlighted efforts to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mission to eradicate tuberculosis (TB) by providing advanced medical equipment to hospitals in Delhi. Additionally, the Delhi government has launched an online organ donation portal to facilitate the organ donation process.

"We have to eradicate TB from the entire country; for the Prime Minister's mission, we have provided various machines to various hospitals in Delhi... We have done another major task. The Delhi government has also launched its online organ donation portal from today," she added.

"This area of Chandni Chowk is our heritage area. Millions of people visit here... It is also a very important place for commercial organisations. During festivals, cleanliness becomes even more essential here... The cleanliness here needs to be improved... We have reviewed the arrangements here with officials... We have also contributed through voluntary labour here," she said.

Good to see focus on both healthcare and cleanliness. Chandni Chowk really needs better sanitation facilities. Hope this isn't just for show and actual improvements happen on ground level.

The online organ donation portal is a progressive step. India needs more such digital initiatives in healthcare. Makes the process more transparent and accessible to common people.

While the announcements sound good, I hope the government ensures these ambulances are distributed evenly across all areas of Delhi, not just posh colonies. Last mile connectivity matters!

Appreciate the TB eradication efforts. This disease affects so many families in India. Proper equipment in hospitals can make a huge difference in early detection and treatment. 👍

Chandni Chowk cleanliness drive is long overdue. The place is historical but the hygiene standards are pathetic. Hope they implement regular cleaning schedules rather than one-time events.

‎Good initiatives but I hope they focus on training the ambulance staff too. Advanced equipment is useless without skilled paramedics. Quality of service matters as much as quantity.
