Delhi Government Revises Arogya Kosh Guidelines to Prioritize EWS Bed Availability

The Delhi government has revised guidelines for the Delhi Arogya Kosh (DAK) to prioritize free bed availability for Economically Weaker Section (EWS) patients in private hospitals and promote the use of imaging facilities in government hospitals. Patients must submit a self-declaration of existing medical coverage to prevent benefit duplication. Health Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh emphasized that these changes aim to enhance transparency, efficiency, and patient-centric healthcare under Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's leadership.
