Abstract
The paper discusses the different aspects of
AAP's health policy regarding mohalla clinics. It covers how AAP came into power
and changed the health policy for the urban poor in Delhi NCR, the features of
the policy, debates around it, and the findings of the article. The paper also
explores how primary health care should be easily accessible to the poor, as
recommended by the Bhore Committee report. The AAP Mohalla Clinic has been a
significant reform in the Delhi NCR region for the urban poor. The paper
examines how the provisions of the mohalla clinics align with the
recommendations of the earlier (Bhore) committee report, which introduced
primary health care in India. This change occurred after AAP came into power in
2015. The primary focus of the AAP Mohalla Clinics and the Delhi government in
2015 was to provide basic health care to all, especially those unable to pay for
it. This was a revolutionary change and a unique strategy brought to Delhi.
Health is crucial for socio-economic development and human resource
development. It is essential for improving the quality of life. Therefore,
coherent health policies and a roadmap for various health initiatives are
necessary to achieve this. The objective of the study is to analyze how AAP's
Mohalla clinic reflects the recommendations of the Bhore Committee and how it
can be seen as the best example of the same. The central theme revolves around
this idea, as the article aims to understand the Bhore Committee
recommendations and how some of them have been implemented by the Mohalla
clinic.
