New Delhi: April 17, 2021 :
The Delhi government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, has taken the decision of deputing 10 IAS officers as Nodal Officers in state government hospitals, 15 DANICS officers as nodal officers in private hospitals, and additionally, 24 DANICS probationers who are currently undergoing financial training in Health & Family Welfare Department.
The IAS officials shall spearhead and oversee the entire COVID management apart from their regular duties, and will be assisted by DANICS officials, with immediate effect.
The IAS officers, designated as Nodal Officers, will oversee overall management of the COVID-19 hospitals assigned to them, and will exercise general superintendence, and scan the directions and control over the functioning of the hospitals.
Additionally, Medical Superintendents and Directors of the respective hospitals would obtain concurrence of all decisions relating to COVID management from the assigned Nodal Officer.
The Nodal Officers have also been instructed to utilise their staff from the original office to assist them with the operations at the hospital. The DANICS Officers who have been stationed in private hospitals as Nodal Officers will handhold the management of the hospitals and oversee that the government instructions and orders are being adhered to, and compiled in letter and spirit.
Moreover, the grievance redressal systems, operated via telephone helpline numbers, shall be overseen and examined by the Nodal Officers both in private and government hospitals. In a review meeting held yesterday, CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal stated, “Not only one, but there should be multiple assistance numbers in the hospitals and nodal persons should be appointed at every helpline number. No urgent calls should be missed or turned down.” The respective hospital staff has also been instructed to see that the contact information of the Nodal Officers are displayed in the hospitals at the right spots.
During the review meeting, CM Shri Kejriwal had also said, “Our health teams must reach out to every individual in home isolation and provide oximeters, wherein the general public should receive every form of assistance while they are in home isolation.”
Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, along with the Health Minister of Delhi Satyendar Jain, visited the Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital and GTB Hospital to review and ensure a personal watch over the situation at the hospitals.
