New Delhi, Nov 28: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has pulled up the top officials of GB Pant hospital for lapses in its services to the patients and asked to resolve all the issues and submit a report in the matter within seven days. 

Mr Kejriwal, who himself monitors the health schemes of free medicines, free surgery in private hospitals and resolution of complaints on the helpline numbers, on Tuesday, pulled up the top officials of the hospital for the said schemes not being implemented in totality.
The Chief Minister directed Medical Director and other officials of the hospital to resolve all issues and come with a report on the same by next Tuesday.
Mr Kejriwal also said any additional help required for the betterment of the hospital will be provided as soon as possible.
According to a statement issued by the Delhi Government, it said, "In the past few days, the reports which 
are submitted to the Chief Minister everyday showed that there were lapses in implementation of these pro-people schemes. Medicine availability was not 100 per cent, resolution of complaints was not done properly."
The Kejriwal Government has launched a scheme under which all medicines are given for free to the patients at the government hospitals and patients are referred to private hospitals for free surgery if they don’t get their surgery done within 30-days at government hospitals.
In addition to it, a helpline number has been issued by the Government for patients and their attendants to lodge complaints. The hospital has to ensure that each complaint is attended to and is resolved.
However, in the case of GB Pant hospital, there were lapses found in these three. UNI
