Rahul Gandhi Writes To Nadda, Atishi Over AIIMS Patients’ Plight, Calls For Urgent Reforms

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has written to Union Health Minister J P Nadda and Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, highlighting the dire conditions of patients and their families outside the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi. Rahul has urged both the Union and Delhi governments to take immediate steps to resolve what he termed as a "humanitarian crisis."

In a post on X, Rahul stated, "I have written letters to the Chief Minister of Delhi and the Union Health Minister to provide better facilities to the patients and their families coming to Delhi AIIMS from all over the country. Recently, I saw that in freezing cold these people are forced to sleep in the subway under the metro station, where there is no provision of drinking water or a toilet.

There are heaps of garbage lying around. The arrival of such a large number of patients to Delhi AIIMS also shows that people are not getting affordable and good-quality health facilities where they live."
