Two weeks back Arvind Kejriwal announced free MRI/CT-Scan in selected private hospitals/centres for all patients who are residents of Delhi for last 3 yrs as Delhi has just one MRI/CT-Scan machine for all 38 Delhi govt run hospitals. The charges for MRI/CT-Scan in these pvt hospitals/centres would be paid by Delhi govt to those pvt hospitals/centres.

Now you will say what is wrong in this move as patient has to wait for 3 yrs to get MRI/CT-Scan done at Delhi only government hospital having facility.

But let me take you to basics of the scheme.

But Kejriwal himself responding to tweet by journalist Manak Gupta in July 2016 had said that tendering for 5 MRI and 10 CT-Scan machines was done and same will be functional in 4 months i.e As per Kejriwal MRI/CT-Scan machines were to be functional in Delhi Govt Hospitals by Nov 2016 but why did he then shift to Private Hospitals/ centres ???
