After the recent Delhi Assembly elections, the BJP is moving forward with forming its new government. This government is expected to make significant decisions, especially regarding the Mohalla clinics in the city.
Rebranding of Mohalla Clinics
It has been suggested that the Mohalla clinics will undergo rebranding. An inquiry committee will be established to investigate any potential misuse of funds related to these clinics. The clinics might be renamed as “Urban Arogya Temple” following the investigation. Once the report is finalized, there will be a revamp of the clinics along with new appointments.
Corruption Allegations
This election saw the BJP achieve a historic victory. However, there have been serious allegations surrounding corruption in the funds allocated for the Mohalla clinics. The new government is expected to take these allegations seriously and conduct a thorough inquiry.
Health Ministry Involvement
The Union Health Ministry is likely to request a report from the new Health Minister of Delhi regarding these concerns. The government aims to have this report ready within 15 days to address the allegations of corruption in the procurement and maintenance of medicines at the clinics.
New Name for the Clinics
Under a new central policy, the Mohalla clinics may be renamed “Arogya Ayushya Mandir.” Major decisions regarding this change could be made in the very first cabinet meeting of the new government.
Implementation of Ayushman Bharat Scheme
In addition, the government plans to implement the Ayushman Bharat Scheme in Delhi, which aims to provide health insurance benefits to many residents. Approximately 51 lakh Ayushman cards are expected to be issued, targeting individuals over 70 years and those from economically weaker sections.
