Aam Aadmi Clinics: Opposition Calls Mann Govt’s Delhi-Like Healthcare Plan Unfit for Punjab

Even earlier than its launch, the Punjab authorities’s flagship healthcare programme, on the strains of Delhi’s Mohalla clinics, has kicked up a row, with the opposition alleging that the Bhagwant Mann authorities was making an attempt to “idiot individuals by simply altering nameplates of present authorities buildings”.

The Mann authorities lately introduced establishing of ‘Aam Aadmi Clinics’ or Mohalla clinics to supply healthcare to rural areas. The clinics might be launched on Independence Day and 75 clinics might be arrange as a part of the primary section.

However the Aam Aadmi Social gathering (AAP) authorities’s choice to transform Suvidha Kendras into Mohalla clinics has invited ridicule from the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD).

Former Deputy CM and senior Akali chief Sukhbir Badal alleged that the AAP authorities was making an attempt to idiot individuals by merely changing 74 Suvidha Kendras arrange by his authorities for public welfare into these clinics.

“At the least 2,000 Suvidha Kendras had been established to supply a number of important companies underneath one roof. In a single go, they wish to uproot these amenities and substitute them with some pretend authorities scheme,” alleged Badal.

The Congress, too, criticised the Mann authorities for creation of Mohalla clinics.

Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring questioned the logic and rationale behind establishing of ‘Aam Aadmi Clinics’ in Punjab, when it already has a nationally and internationally acknowledged sturdy and vibrant healthcare system.

“There are already 1000’s of higher outfitted and higher staffed government-run dispensaries throughout the state, which the AAP authorities needs to interchange with such clinics, which have already failed in Delhi,” he stated in a press release.

“If these clinics are specifically meant to deal with the Aam Aadmi Social gathering employees for no matter illnesses you’ll have identified they’re affected by, then it’s alright,” Warring taunted the AAP authorities. “However the widespread Punjabi actually doesn’t want refurbished Suvidha Centres as their first-aid centres, after they have quick access to raised amenities throughout the state.”

The PCC president alleged that establishing of Mohalla Clinics seemed to be a “money-minting scheme for the powers that be”. He referred to huge bills incurred in getting these already present buildings painted with AAP’s title.

The AAP authorities has trashed these allegations. Authorities sources stated solely dysfunctional Suvidha Kendras have been transformed into the clinics.
