Overview

  • Delhi Health Minister Pankaj Singh said all state-run hospitals will soon provide MRI and CT scans at heavily subsidised rates.
  • Under the plan, patients are expected to pay Rs2,500 per scan compared with private sector fees of Rs6,000 to Rs10,000.
  • A public-private partnership model will be used, with the government preparing to float a tender for diagnostic service providers.
  • Currently, only LNJP and GB Pant hospitals offer MRI and CT scans through the public health system.
  • Singh emphasised that affordable diagnostics are essential to strengthening New Delhi’s health infrastructure and improving patient outcomes.
