IE report quoted Niti Aayog member (health) Dr Vinod Paul as saying that Delhi’s mohalla clinic model should be looked into. Paul said this at a state level workshop on Wednesday while stressing on out-of-the-box thinking for setting up 1.5 lakh health and wellness centres across the country. He added, there are many positive points about mohalla clinics, though there are some issues with them also

AAP government’s mohalla clinics have won praise internationally.

In January last year former Secretary-General of United Nations (UN), Kofi Annan, had praised the Mohalla Clinic project in a letter to Arvind Kejriwal. Commending the project as “successful and impressive”, Annan had written: “You have scaled up the provision of universal free health services, most notably in providing free primary healthcare services through your mohalla clinics. We understand that this initiative is proving very successful and we commend you on this impressive achievement”.

Following Annan, the project earned praise from former World Health Organisation director general and Norway prime minister Gro Harlem Brundtland. She found the project as an “excellent strategy” to build an exclusive health system in the country and bring universal health care to people.

The Silent Revolution nobody talks about in the MSM.
