Acting on a complaint received during a public grievance hearing, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has ordered an immediate inspection of Fortis Hospital in Shalimar Bagh.
A team of officials conducted an on-the-spot inspection of the facility and observed discrepancies, prompting the government to order a thorough examination of the findings.
The inspection follows a complaint lodged during the ‘CM Jan Sunwai’ programme, a public grievance redressal initiative launched by the Delhi government in February 2026 to provide citizens with a platform to raise concerns regarding government services and civic amenities.
The Chief Minister has emphasized that public hearings are meaningful mechanisms for understanding people’s expectations and addressing them effectively.
Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, has been at the center of a long-standing legal battle regarding alleged medical negligence in a high-profile case dating back to 2017.
The latest government inspection indicates heightened scrutiny of private healthcare facilities in the national capital, aligning with the Chief Minister’s vision of making Delhi “the most developed health center in the country.”
The inspection team’s findings will be thoroughly examined, and the government has warned of strict action if any irregularities are found.
