Delhi govt to launch ‘Vishram Grih’ pilot project for patient attendants at city hospitals next month

NEW DELHI: In a relief to the attendants of hospitalised patients, the Delhi government in the coming months will launch a pilot project — ‘Vishram Grih’ — to offer rest facilities at city hospitals, beginning with the Lok Nayak Hospital, Ambedkar Hospital, and Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, among others, an official said.

At a nominal charge, such as Rs 5, one or two family members will be allowed in the Vishram Grih, where all basic facilities will be available, a health official told PTI.

The pilot project will begin in the coming months at four to five hospitals, with the first phase focusing on providing Vishram Grih facilities equipped with clean restrooms, proper bedding, and food arrangements so that the attendants don’t have to sleep on roads or in unsafe areas around the hospital premises, he said.
