The Health Minister noted that arrangements have been made for foreign guests coming for the summit to stay in various hotels across Delhi. "Keeping this arrangement in mind, 80 teams of doctors and nursing staff formed. These teams will serve all guests in these 25 hotels. Out of these 80 teams, 75 teams will work in shifts," he said.

Each hotel has been assigned three teams, each working in eight-hour shifts. These teams will remain dedicated to serving our incoming guests 24/7 according to their respective time schedules, Bhardwaj said.
