According to the Delhi government, these clinics will provide specialised services like gynaecologist’s services, tests, and medicines to women free of cost.
Mohalla clinics system is one of the flagship initiatives of the Kejriwal government aiming to provide basic health services to underserved population in urban settings.
These clinics serve as the first point of contact for the population, offer timely services, and reduce the high amount of referrals to secondary and tertiary health facilities in the state.
The scheme elicited a mixed response with its inception in 2015 at Peeragarhi, West Delhi. As per reports, the clinics have gone from 106 in 2016 to 519 in 2022.
