He further said, “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.”
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, stated Sisiodia.
According to the Deputy CM, the Mohalla Clinic is the very first point of detection for any disease that strikes the city.
After digitalisation, the data from here will be used to assess any disease before it affects the people of Delhi.
“Furthermore, such data will be crucial in the development of health-related policies,” he added.
The capital currently has 519 Mohalla Clinics that offer free primary health care services to patients, including 212 different types of tests.
Every day, over 60,000 people are treated in these Mohalla Clinics, claimed Sisodia.
