To quench the thrust of patients and their attendants, Delhi-AIIMS has installed on its premises thirty three high capacity water coolers donated by Shri Girdhari Lal Dogra Memorial Trust. This trust is headed by Mrs Sangeeta Jaitley, wife of Mr Arun Jaitley, Union Finance Minister.

These high capacity water coolers are mainly available in OPDs where drinking water has not been fully available to the patients and attendants.

The trust has also donated modern water dispensing machines including online plumbed-in units, fountain type cooler machine and vandal resistant barrier free bottle filler stations, specially in private wards and academic areas.

The newer facilities will provide 7700 litres of additional water. This facility will also be provided in upcoming new blocks in AIIMS.

Prof Randeep Guleria, Director, Delhi-AIIMS, said this initiative has been taken to provide pure and chilled drinking water to patients and their attendants outside cancer and cardiology OPDs.

“This will extinguish the thirst of not only the patients and their attendants but also of people outside AIIMS. Total OPD footfall of patients in AIIMS is 13000. Around 50000 people are likely to benefit from this drinking water facility,” added Dr Guleria.

Health Minister JP Nadda said that this endeavor by the trust will provide water to those who wait outside OPDs for long and but cannot get water due to its non-availability. The minister hailed the finance ministry for providing funds to upcoming new projects of AIIMS in other states.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that this drinking water facility will be of great use as far as Delhi-AIIMS is concerned. The minister said that endowments help hospitals to make sure they should not be short of funds.
