New Delhi, Dec 19 Delhi Health Minister, Saurabh Bharadwaj, is actively conducting inspections at government hospitals across the city to assess the effectiveness of healthcare services initiated by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

During inspections at Hedgewar Hospital near Karkardooma Court and Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital in Trilokpuri on Tuesday, the Minister engaged directly with patients and their families, addressing their concerns and evaluating the hospitals' conditions.

Patients expressed satisfaction with the cleanliness of the hospitals, and positive feedback was received regarding the quality of food provided.
