Around 250 mohalla clinics across the Capital will shut with immediate effect, Delhi health minister Pankaj Singh said on Thursday, highlighting it as part of the government's 100-day plan to revamp health infrastructure in Delhi.
NEW DELHI:
Addressing a press conference at the Delhi secretariat, Singh took a shot at the previous regime. "Mohalla clinics fraud ka adda hai (Delhi mohalla clinics only exist for fraud). Around 250 mohalla clinics exist only on paper and are on rented land, with rent expenses being misused. An order has been passed to shut such clinics with immediate effect," he said.
Mohalla clinics were set up by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in October 2015, and as of August 23, 2023, 533 mohalla clinics were running in the city.
The AAP did not respond to requests for comment.
