Hon'ble LG of Delhi

Hon'ble CM of Delhi

Greetings from Seniors Hub Dwarka, a registered NGO for senior citizens.

We seek your indulgence to make India Gandhi Hospital at Dwarka fully operational in view of the 3rd Corona wave.

Background

We had started online petition -  https://chng.it/XCGSSZhM - on 16th April 2021 at the start of 2nd wave of Corona, for the start of the 1725-bedded hospital, which was conceived by Late Shri Sahib Singh Verma ji  1998 or so and foundation station of the same was laid by Late Smt Sheila Dixit ji. This “under-construction” hospital remained as it is while the current pandemic Corona period wanted it the most. 

During 2nd wave, Govts were running from one place to the other i.e. Ram Lila Ground, Sant Nirankari Maidan or other places for making “make shift covid centres” but none thought of this hospital for reasons best known to them.

When we, at Seniors Hub Dwarka, a registered NGO for senior citizens of Dwarka, took up this issue online, within weeks this petition was viewed by over 15,000 persons putting pressure on Authorities that they should look at this facility lying vacant. Media also started covering the same – Times Now, TOI, NBT, Dainik Jagran, CitySpidey, KrantiOdisha to name few highlighted this.

While it got the support of the Local NGOs, Dwarka Advocates Bar Bench went to High Court for opening. Same way, leaders of the political parties also took note of the same and started putting pressure.

All through our members at Seniors Hub Dwarka were sending mails to Hon’ble LG of Delhi, Hon’ble CM and Health Minister of Delhi on this subject.

Current Situation

The Hospital is operational partially with facility of covid beds and OPD facilities, one of the photos is being shared.

Our Request

In view of Delhites already in the 3rd wave, we request that this Indira Gandhi Hospital at Dwarka be opened fully for the good of the general public

With Warm Regards

Seniors Hub Dwarka
