Hospital merger to boost MBBS, PG seats, and specialised training: Rekha Gupta

Chief Minister of Delhi Rekha Gupta on Sunday (March 22, 2026) said that the proposed merger of Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Delhi State Cancer Institute and Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital to create an autonomous institution on the lines of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences model is expected to pave the way for a substantial increase in MBBS and postgraduate seats so that more doctors can receive specialised training and the quality of healthcare can be enhanced.

“The initiative is not limited to improving healthcare delivery but also focuses on expanding medical education and promoting research. The integration plan will help position Delhi as a leading national centre for medical education, research, and advanced healthcare services,” Ms. Gupta said.
