According to the sources, the aim of the project is to reorganise health care facilities by remodelling the dispensaries into polyclinics, which will be attached to various Delhi government hospitals.
The Delhi Cabinet has approved the construction of 94 new polyclinics in the national Capital. The government has also sought a report on existing polyclinics and Mohalla Clinics from the health department.
"The cabinet approved the Health Department proposal for remodelling of 94 Delhi government dispensaries into polyclinics in different areas of the national Capital at the cost of Rs 168 crore," the government said in its statement.
According to the sources, the aim of the project is to reorganise health care facilities by remodelling the dispensaries into polyclinics, which will be attached to various Delhi government hospitals. The polyclinics will act as satellite centres for outdoor specialised medical treatment centres of these hospitals. Medical superintend ants of hospitals to which the polyclinics will be attached will be the overall incharges of these polyclinics.
Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain, during his sit-in at Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal's house, had requested the authorities to look into the files for the construction of polyclinics in the Capital.
An outlay of Rs 403 crore is proposed for the Mohalla clinics and polyclinics in 2018-2-19 by the AAP government in the recent finance budget.
At present, around 30 polyclinics are operational in the national capital and the government had set a target of 150 such polyclinics. According to the Public Works Department (PWD), construction of new building and remodelling of existing buildings for expansion of the Acharya Shree Bhikshu government hospital (Motion Nagar) will be carried out. Among the hospitals where expansion and remodelling works will be undertaken are Dr Hedgewar Aarogya Sansthan, Dada Dev Maternity and Child Hospital, Jag Pravesh Chandra Hospital.
Polyclinics operate as specialist out-patient departments, where medicine, gynaecology and pediatrics specialists are available every day, while orthopaedics, eye and ENT specialists are available on selected days of the week.
