The government today said 240 doctors and paramedic staff would be available round the clock at the Commonwealth Games village to tackle any medical emergency or outbreak of disease during the mega sporting event.

"Adequate arrangements have been made by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and Delhi Government. A poly clinic with all provisions like ultra sound, laboratory and imaging would be set up to provide medical facilities to all participants," Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad told the Lok Sabha.

General physicians, surgeons, dentists, physiotherapists, dieticians and other trained practitioners would be available at the Out Patient Department (OPD) to be set up at the Games village, he said during Question Hour.

Similarly, at every venue a medical centre would be set up.
