Controversies

COVID-19 Hospital objection

On 16 April 2020 NHMC & Hospital was declared to be dedicated for the COVID-19 patients by Delhi government. [14] After this decision many of the Defence Colony residents living near the hospital premises had raised their concerns about hospital management and safety issues in handling COVID-19 patients. [15] Major (Retired) Ranjit Singh, the President of the Defence Colony RWA had also written a letter to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal about the risks associated with shifting COVID-19 patients to Nehru hospital [16] and also raised questions on reliability of homeopathic hospitals. However, Anu Kapoor, [17] Medical Superintendent of Nehru Hospital told Mail Today that they were only in preparation mode for converting the hospital into a dedicated COVID-19 hospital at that time.
