Through hospitals in South Delhi, the Department of Health and Family Welfare is in charge of offering medical treatment to Delhi residents. With the help of numerous healthcare facilities within NCTD, it plays a vital role in delivering promotive, preventative, curative, and rehabilitative healthcare services and teaching, training, and research. The Health Department plans to use information technology breakthroughs to implement an advanced, citizen-centric ICT health management system that increases the efficiency of the State Health Department and state-run hospitals/institutes and enhances Delhi's overall healthcare system, and also aims to increase the number of top hospitals in South Delhi.
There are approximately 23 hospitals, including government and private hospitals in South Delhi, with an overall bed strength of nearly 7,000. The polyclinics are connected to the best hospitals in South Delhi. Polyclinics aim to offer secondary healthcare through OPD consultations with specialized physicians that include tests. The first specialist services include internal medicine, general surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, orthopedics, ENT, and dermatology. In South Delhi, there are currently 25 such clinics. 94 of the current dispensaries would be converted into polyclinics that would provide these specialized clinical services to increase the number of these polyclinics.
