150 New Dialysis Units Installed Across Six Government Hospitals in Delhi Under Sewa Pakhwada 2025: Dr. Pankaj Kumar Singh

New Delhi, Sept 26, 2025: As part of the ongoing Sewa Pakhwada 2025 initiative, which is being celebrated to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday, the Rekha Gupta-led Delhi Government has installed 150 new hemodialysis machines across six major government hospitals, boosting the city’s capacity to deliver life-saving treatment. These units are now conducting dialysis for 1,500 patients daily, ensuring timely and equitable access to critical care for citizens across districts.

Of the 150 machines, the largest allocations include 55 machines at Burari Hospital (Central district) and 45 machines at Janakpuri Super Speciality Hospital (West district). Ambedkar Nagar Hospital (South district) has been equipped with 25 machines, while the North West district saw capacity expansion with 10 machines at Dr. Baba Sahib Ambedkar Hospital and 5 at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital. Additionally, Jag Pravesh Chandra Hospital (North East district) has received 10 new units. With the additional 150 dialysis units, total number of machines reached 300 across Delhi Government hospitals.

In parallel, the Delhi Government is actively implementing the “Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar” (Healthy Woman, Empowered Family) campaign, which has already reached an impressive scale. Till date, 1,558 health camps, including 60 specialist camps in PHCs, have been conducted across the city, drawing 9,35,896 beneficiaries with an average of 111 attendees per camp. Of these, 3,86,270 men and 5,69,294 women were screened, reflecting the strong emphasis on women’s health. Special attention was given to TB prevention, with 18,530 women screened for tuberculosis, while 1,041 Nikshay Mitras have been registered to support patients.

Alongside medical check-ups and awareness drives, nutrition kits are being distributed at Ayushman Arogya Mandirs and community health centres, helping women and children overcome nutritional deficiencies and strengthening family health. This comprehensive approach covering screenings, preventive care, nutritional support, and health awareness underscores the Government’s commitment to empowering women and ensuring healthier families as the foundation of a stronger nation.

The health department is also raising awareness about the ‘Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar’ campaign through necessary means such as community outreach and poster campaigns.

Speaking on the development, Health Minister Dr. Pankaj Kumar Singh said: “The Government of Delhi is committed to making healthcare more accessible, equitable, and preventive in nature. While the installation of 150 dialysis machines under Sewa Pakhwada strengthens our hospitals’ ability to save lives every day, the ‘Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar’ initiative ensures that women and children receive the nutritional support they need to lead healthier lives. Under this abhiyan, free health check-ups and consultations are being provided at Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, and I urge all women across the city to come forward and benefit from these services.”
