The number of Mohalla Clinics in delhi has now increased to 545, where all kinds of treatment is done for free. Special Mohalla Clinics are being opened for women, where keeping in mind their needs, all the employees and doctors will be women. In the coming days, more Mohalla Clinics will be opened in different areas of Delhi. minister Saurabh Bhardwaj said that some people have hatched a big conspiracy against the people of delhi and have tried to obstruct the work of the people of Delhi. But I assure every resident of delhi that we will not let any work stop.
He said that the people of delhi are getting a lot of benefit from Mohalla Clinics. In the last few years, more than 2 crore people have got treatment in all the Mohalla Clinics. Due to getting effective treatment, even the affluent people who usually go to expensive private hospitals are now getting treatment in Mohalla Clinics. During this, minister Saurabh Bhardwaj visited these newly built Mohalla Clinics, took stock of the facilities available for the patients and also talked to the doctors. Saurabh Bhardwaj said that a total of 545 Mohalla Clinics are operating in delhi, including 2 new ones.
Saurabh Bhardwaj said that "We started building Mohalla Clinics in 2015-16, the purpose of which was to provide treatment for minor diseases like fever, cough, cold. This will avoid long queues in big hospitals. There are many big government and private hospitals in Delhi. Hospitals are always crowded, so we thought why not open 'small scale hospitals' in the form of Mohalla Clinics in every colony and ward of Delhi?" He further said that the first Mohalla Clinic was built in the slums of Pitampura. It received a lot of praise from the people and it showed great results. The people around this mohalla clinic were very happy because if they had any minor illness they would come here and get treatment for free.
