NEW DELHI: The Delhi government on Wednesday formed a five-member committee to look into the national capital's healthcare infrastructure and facilities.
The move comes after the government received flak following reports of people being denied treatment in covid-19 hospitals. Delhi has one of the highest number of covid-19 cases in the country at over 22,000, of which 12,573 are active.
