Delhi Government Hospitals Face Long Patient Waits Amid Limited Medical Resources
Patients at major Delhi government hospitals face long waits for critical medical procedures due to limited resources. At Lok Nayak Hospital, a single MRI machine serves thousands daily, leading to appointment delays extending years, as in Shahjad's case. Similarly, families at AIIMS endure prolonged waits for surgeries, with some patients, like 15-year-old Tanvi, experiencing fatal outcomes amid complex medical conditions. Despite challenges, patients acknowledge the affordability and quality of care at these institutions, highlighting systemic capacity constraints.
