Thursday brought together two prominent figures in Delhi politics: MP Hema Malini and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta convened at the Delhi Secretariat to tackle vital development agendas head-on.
The CMO’s social media statement revealed in-depth deliberations on several fronts, signaling proactive governance.
Fresh from World Cancer Day observances, Gupta had shared the stage with Health Minister Pratap Rao Jadhav at NDMC for the ‘Jan-Jan Jage, Cancer Bhage’ initiative, mobilizing the masses for cancer prevention.
Her poignant remarks framed cancer as a total assault—on body, mind, spirit, and wallet—affecting entire families. She called for a comprehensive strategy fueled by public cooperation and heartfelt solidarity, transcending medical cures.
Gupta celebrated Ayushman Arogya Mandirs as emerging health hubs, with 350+ in Delhi furnishing free cancer screenings (oral, breast, cervical), treatments, shots, and checks.
Nationally, Ayushman Bharat shields 43 crore lives; Delhi’s participation runs into lakhs. The 16,000+ Jan Aushadhi Kendras cut drug prices by 90%, with expansions underway in the capital for equitable access.
Highlighting fiscal firepower, a Rs 10,000 crore central grant will revolutionize AIIMS, Safdarjung, and RML hospitals through infrastructure boosts, tech innovations, and superior patient experiences.
Affirming partnership, Gupta committed Delhi’s administration to bolstering all healthcare and public service players, envisioning a healthier tomorrow.
