Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday reviewed the functioning of the Delhi State Health Mission (DSHM) and approved a proposal to hand over the responsibility of management and setting up of Mohalla Clinics to it, a government statement said.
Universal healthcare
Currently, the Delhi government’s project of setting up 1,000 Mohalla Clinics is being undertaken by the Health Department.
Since the DSHM’s responsibilities include ensuring universal healthcare, it will be tasked with mapping under-served areas and setting up Mohalla Clinics, as well as managing the facilities.
Mr. Kejriwal also allowed the Rogi Kalyan Samitis to hire short-term staff to fill vacancies in hospitals.
