New Delhi, April 24 -- To address the acute shortage of MRI machines in Delhi's 36 government hospitals - a gap that often pushes patients toward expensive private diagnostics - Delhi health minister Pankaj Singh said on Wednesday that a proposal to roll out MRI services across all state-run hospitals will be placed before the cabinet on Thursday.
If cleared, the health department will float tenders for purchase and installation of MRI machines, enabling patients to access the scans free of charge.
Around 20 hospitals are expected to receive the machines in the first phase. Currently, only three government hospitals - including Lok Nayak, GB Pant, and Indira Gandhi Hospital - have MRI machines.P3
