City hospitals don't have adequate infra, govt. is working to address it: CM
'Today, there is immense pressure on Delhi's hospitals...there is a need for ICUs and trauma centres, but so far, we haven't been able to build enough infrastructure to meet that need,' Ms. Gupta said while addressing the media at an event organised by Santosh Eshwar Foundation and Lok Nayak Hospital.
Hitting out at the Aam Aadmi Party, she said the previous government did not work on this front. 'Our government is working on every front to enhance the medical infrastructure. It might take some time, but our goal is clear: nobody should lose their life because of a lack of treatment in Delhi,' she said.
In an X post, she heaped praises on doctors, stating that 'their commitment brings hope to countless Indians every day'.
'The launch of 33 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs and 17 Jan Aushadhi Kendras is a reflection of our resolve to ensure accessible, affordable, and dignified healthcare for all,' she said in the post.
'It is our endeavour that all the doctors of Delhi get a stress-free, safe and modern work environment. With this goal, the Delhi government is working in mission mode to equip hospitals with modern technology and basic facilities,' she added.

How to Manage Type 2 Diabetes Without Medication: What Experts Recommend
Last Updated: With consistency, many people can manage and even reverse type 2 diabetes naturally Reversing or managing type 2 diabetes without medication may sound ambitious—but for many, it's entirely achievable through committed lifestyle changes. With the right mix of diet, exercise, stress management, and support, individuals can not only bring their blood sugar under control but even reach remission. 1. Rethink your plate Nutrition plays a central role in natural diabetes management. Focus on a low glycemic index (GI) diet—foods that release sugar slowly into the bloodstream. This includes vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Reducing refined carbs and processed sugar is key. Dr. Anoop Misra, a leading Indian endocrinologist, highlights the importance of cultural relevance in diet. 'In Indians, swapping white rice and refined carbs for millets, whole grains and legumes significantly improves insulin sensitivity and glycaemic control." Plant-based diets, now strongly endorsed by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, have shown promising results in improving metabolic health and reducing insulin resistance. 2. Move more, sit less Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week—like brisk walking, cycling, or swimming—along with strength training two to three times weekly. Even a short walk after meals can make a noticeable difference in controlling post-meal blood sugar spikes. 3. Watch your weight Even a modest weight loss of 5–10% can significantly improve blood sugar levels. Focus on portion control, avoid crash diets, and make long-term, sustainable changes. 4. Don't overlook sleep, stress and hydration Stress triggers cortisol, a hormone that can spike blood sugar levels. Yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises can help. Poor sleep also worsens insulin resistance, so aim for 7–9 hours of quality rest. And staying hydrated helps your body regulate glucose more effectively. 5. Monitor and stay supported Track your blood sugar regularly and maintain open communication with your healthcare provider. Joining diabetes support groups or involving family members can also improve motivation and adherence. With consistency, many people can manage and even reverse type 2 diabetes naturally. But always consult your doctor before making major changes to your health routine.

‘Behind mask: Who heals the healer?'
1 2 3 Kolkata: Doctors need to feel safe both on campus and at hospitals and chambers since they suffer as much physical exhaustion and stress as the rest of society, dealing with the weight of expectations from patients on a daily basis, said medics on National Doctor's Day on Tuesday. The constant scrutiny and the pressure to perform often make them as vulnerable as patients, and they, too, need healing time, said Kolkata doctors. This has been making them prone to breakdowns, errors, and more frequent burnouts, they said. This year's theme for the day was "Behind the Mask: Who Heals the Healers?" "Behind every successful diagnosis and every life saved, there is a doctor quietly carrying the weight of long hours, emotional strain, and constant doctors face immense professional and personal challenges. As we celebrate Doctor's Day, let's also recognise that healers need healing, too. They need space to rest, to learn, to grow, and to feel safe. Caring for caregivers isn't just a theme — it's a responsibility we must all share," said Anjan Siotia, director, cardiology at BM Birla Heart Hospital. There is hardly any recovery time for medics, unlike other professionals, said Manipal Hospital infectious diseases physician Sayan Chakrabarty. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Como corrigir o encolhimento muscular (Faça isso antes de dormir) Revista do Homem Saiba Mais Undo "Other than treating patients, we must also deal with their families and convey information about the patients' progress. Often, when things go wrong, it becomes difficult to convince the kin and heated arguments ensue. There are hundreds of doctors who are not lucky enough to work in a protected environment, and we do feel insecure," said Chakrabarty.
