Delhi Government has decided to introduce 100 more ‘Mohalla clinics’ across the national Capital with the aim to provide world-class primary healthcare services to all residents.
The capital currently has 519 mohalla clinics that offer free primary health care services to patients, including 212 different types of tests.
Officials said that the preparations for these upcoming clinics are well underway and will be completed
soon.
On Monday, Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia met with officials from the Public Works Department and the Health Department to review the project.
“The Kejriwal Government's Aam Aadmi Mohalla clinics are known around the world, and people have been visiting Delhi to learn about this public healthcare model," said Sisodia adding that the Delhi Government’s goal is to provide primary healthcare to every resident of Delhi, and expanding the number of Mohalla Clinics is a landmark step in the direction.
“Simultaneously, work on digitising all Mohalla Clinics in Delhi is progressing quickly. Many Mohalla Clinics have been fully digitised, with information about patients and their medical histories collected using tablets available at clinics,” said Sisodia.
“Doctors will be able to learn about their patients' medical histories with a single click. This will assist doctors in better diagnosing and treating patients,” said Sisodia.
