The Delhi High Court established a six-person expert committee in February.

The ruling was made in response to a 2017 suo motu petition alleging that government hospitals lacked ventilators and intensive care unit (ICU) beds.

According to the panel, one of the primary shortcomings is the lack of faculty and staff.

To address this, at least 15% of all open positions should be filled within 30 days.

Simultaneously, the court emphasized the necessity for the government to ensure adequate infrastructure and facilities in hospitals.

Other crucial suggestions included doubling the number of intensive care unit (ICU) beds, establishing trauma accident centers in district hospitals, and keeping a drug inventory for at least two months.

Along with this, issues like lack of operation theaters, facilities for MRI/CT scans, etc were also raised in the report, and HC has demanded action on the same from the government as soon as possible.

The High Court is further going to review the matter on April 15.
