Overview
- Health Minister Dr. Pankaj Kumar Singh announced a citywide rollout on Wednesday across all Delhi government hospitals.
- Bedsheet colours will rotate by day—Monday: white; Tuesday: pink; Wednesday: green; Thursday: purple; Friday: blue; Saturday: light grey; Sunday: peach.
- The initiative is anchored in the national Kayakalp framework, which requires separate transport of soiled linen and washing in hot water with detergent.
- Hospitals have been directed to procure uniform-quality linen, maintain adequate stocks of each colour, and manage collection and use efficiently.
- Officials say the system aims to strengthen hygiene, help curb hospital-acquired infections, provide visible assurance of cleanliness, and support staff morale.
