MCD to Offer CT Scan and MRI Services Below CGHS Rates at Three Hospitals
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has approved a public-private partnership to provide CT scan and MRI services at 20% below Central Government Health Scheme rates in three hospitals: Hindu Rao, Swami Dayanand, and Rajan Babu Institute. A private agency will invest Rs 120 crore over 10 years, covering installation and operation costs, while MCD provides space and retains ownership. The initiative aims to improve affordable access to advanced diagnostic facilities, especially for economically weaker patients.
