Delhi Gurudwara Committee offers two hospital buildings for treatment of COVID-19 patients

Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) on Wednesday offered a hospital and a 500-bedded hospital building for the isolation and treatment of COVID-19 patients in the national capital at Gurudwara Bala Sahib. In a letter to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, DSGMC President Manjinder Singh Sirsa acknowledged that the state government is developing its infrastructure to manage the rise in COVD-19 suspected patients. He further suggested converting hotels and banquet halls into health facilities for isolation, treatment and quarantine of these patients. Sirsa then went on to offer the Guru Harkrishan Hospital, a 50-bedded multidisciplinary hospital with intensive care units at Gurudwara Bala Sahib, for the assistance of the state government. Besides, Manjinder Sirsa also offered the 500-bedded six-story building of Guru Harkrishan Institute of Medical Science and Research, which is ready to be set up, for the same cause. "We believe that and if Delhi government desires, a visit at the site can be planned to explore the possibilities to complete it in an expedited manner to use it for this very purpose. Use of this proposed state-of-the-art health facility to fill the existing gap between the health resource available and required will work in the nation's interest," Sirsa said.
