The Delhi Government on Tuesday decided to provide an allocation of Rs 209 crore for setting-up 1,000 Aam Aadmi Mohalla Clinics in various areas of the national Capital.
“The Public Works Department (PWD) has been given the task of setting-up clinics to provide quality health care to the people of Delhi at their doorstep,” official said.
According to the Government, in a paradigm shift, it is reorganising all the health facilities and a four-tier structure is being created. “This will consist of mohalla clinics, polyclinics (multi-speciality clinic), multi-speciality hospitals (earlier called secondary-level hospitals) and super-speciality hospitals (earlier called tertiary-level hospitals),” official added.
There will be a medical officer, pharmacist, auxillary nursing midwife, lab technician and an outsourced security guard in every mohalla clinic.
It is proposed to provide medical care, based on standard treatment protocols.
