Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) needs yet big round of applause for opening in New Delhi on 07.03.2021, biggest but most ultra-modern totally free hospital for kidney-dialysis with five-starred facilities and free food for both patients and their attendants with hospital not having a cash-counter at all. Funding for setting up and running of hospital will be done through corporate-social-responsibility (CSR) fund mandatory for all companies and Ayushman Bharat Yojna of Government of India and of course through voluntary contributions.
This is not the first time that DSGMC has done such a nice job. It opened first-ever no-profit no-loss shop of generic medicines at Gurudwara Bangla Saheb in New Delhi to benefit public where generic medicines usually have printed Maximum-Retail-Price MRP which is even ten times the distributor-price. DSGMC should open more such shops at different Gurudwaras of Delhi. DSGMC known for providing free daily food at various Gurudwaras of Delhi was in news for same sacrificing spirit even in lockdown-days during corona-crisis by serving hygienic food to needy irrespective of cast or religion at various outlets apart from normal langars in Gurudwaras. It also offered 850 beds for corona-patients in Delhi.
Delhi government and civic bodies should provide space for opening medicine-shops of generic and branded medicines separately at no-profit no-loss to DSGMC at all their hospitals considering selfless service for humanity by DSGMC. Delhi government provide land to DSGMC solely for purpose of building more such super-speciality hospitals for different diseases on the lines it has opened hospital for kidney-dialysis on 07.03.2021.
