The Delhi High Court has stated that it anticipates the Delhi Government’s health information management system to be established as quickly as feasible in order to give an end-to-end solution for all information linked to health institutions.
A division bench led by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice submitted arguments in relation to the city’s handling of the COVID-19 incident.
Thus, Subramonium Prasad concluded a number of complaints made about the handling of the COVID-19 issue in the city.
The Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital and Guru Govind Singh Hospital, as well as allied medical institutions, will have a complete health information management system by September 2022, the Delhi Government reported in a recent status report. A letter of intent has been issued to M/S NEC Corporation Ltd., which has begun work on the project.
The agency also notified the Court that a mobile application will be created in addition to the software solution.
In an order issued on August 2 that was just posted, the Court stated, “It is anticipated that the health information management system would be constructed as rapidly as feasible, ideally within eight weeks from now.”
The Delhi Government also informed the court that the number of Covid-19 beds at the State Hospitals has been de-escalated in light of the city’s declining positive rate of cases, adding that the State is ready for any emergency situation in which the services will be reactivated quickly.
The Government also informed the Court that the Delhi Disaster Response Fund is paying Rs. 50,000 to the kin of each person who died as a result of Covid-19, and that the Grievance Redressal Committee will reconsider each of the cases that the district offices turned down in the event that any applicants have complaints.
The Court was further informed that, according to an order issued by DDMA on April 1, 2022, wearing a face mask has been suggested, even if there is no punishment to be applied for doing so.
The Court ruled on the petitions and issued the following orders:
“Be it noted that the Petitioners may at any time approach this Court by taking proper action, should the necessity arise in the future.”
