Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has announced plans to set up a total of 708 Mohalla clinics across the state by February, based on the Delhi model. The work for 500 such clinics is over, and the rest are nearing completion. Each Mohalla clinic will have a doctor, nurse, and pharmacist and will provide 12 services that include maternal and child health, adolescent health, communicable and non-communicable disease services, Ophthalmic care, palliative care, and Ear, nose, and tongue treatment among other services.
The main feature of Mohalla clinics is that they provide accessible and affordable healthcare services to people living in urban areas. The clinics are equipped with modern medical facilities and services, making them a one-stop shop for all kinds of medical needs. The clinics provide preventive and curative care, health counseling, and support services. The services are based on the principles of universal health coverage, ensuring that all citizens have access to quality healthcare.
