New maternity ward at GTB

Sharing beds may be the norm at the 135-bed Gynaecology and Obstetrics Ward at Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital, Dilshad Garden, but the status quo is all set to change.

"A 300-bed mother and child health centre combining gynaecology and obstetrics and paediatric departments will be ready by June," said medical superintendent Dr U.C. Verma.

Verma says there is little the hospital can do about the bed-sharing, as everyone who needs treatment has to be accomodated.

“GTB Hospital hospital is a tertiary health centre and ideally only emergencies and referrals should come to us but this does not happen. We are forced to admit even normal delivery cases as we cannot turn away anyone,” said Dr Verma.
