Despite everything that has
happened over the past year since ruling Aam Aadmi Party came to power in
Delhi, there has been some major reforms in the healthcare industry. In the
Delhi Budget 2015-16, Rs 4787 crore was allotted
to the health sector, whose planned outlay has been pegged at Rs 3138 crore, 45
percent more than last time.
Some of the major developments are as follows:
1. Mohalla clinic: AAP offers affordable healthcare model at doorstep.
AAP delivers on pre-poll promise as Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal plans to open 1,000 mohalla clinics by the end of this year, offering healthcare at doorstep. ‘The introduction of the medicine vending machine gives confidence to the patient. It also makes the process more transparent’, said Rishi Bal, a doctor at the Todapur mohalla clinic. This is a big step in a country which neither has a capitalist driven private healthcare model like US nor a socialized universal healthcare program like UK, France, Scandinavian countries, etc.
2. AAP's healthcare bonanza: Delhi government reveals plans for more dialysis units and a separate Delhi Health University
In a meeting held on December 10, 2015, the Minister for Health and Family Welfare Satyendra Jain and some other senior health officials resolved to improve some of the basic facilities in the government hospitals.
“The health minister is too keen in changing the old face of the government hospitals. He wants people to prefer Delhi government hospitals over the private hospitals. We have been told to work on the plans in the next 15 days,” according to a senior doctor.
Under the new initiative, the government plans to set up six new dialysis machines at Guru Tegh Bahadur Hospital and 10 at Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital. The tender for using the dialysis unit through private agencies is to be floated on an "as is where is" basis.
3) Initiatives by the central government in line with the AAP's groundwork:
Earlier in 2016, the Central government in a pilot project set up five healthcare ATMs. This project, spread across four states including Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, are to tackle the shortage of doctors and pilferage that comes along with free drug programmes. “In medical science, history is very important,” said Mitra, adding that creating a digital database which can be accessed instantly is positive step.
4) Expand Healthcare Infrastructure: We will create 900 new Primary Health Centers (PHCs) and 30,000 more beds in Delhi hospitals, out of which 4,000 will be in maternity wards. We will ensure that Delhi conforms to the international norm of five beds for every 1000 people.”
6) The Aam Aadmi Party Govt. in Delhi recently announced several measures to provide improved health care to the people of Delhi. The Delhi Health Minister, Satyendra Jain used twitter (@SatyendarJain) to announce these.

5) Quality Drugs For All At Affordable Price: Pharmaceutical drug and equipment procurement will be centralized to ensure zero corruption. High quality drugs will be made available to the public.” Government sources said the plan was ambitious, as it required ensuring no shortage of medicines and consumables mentioned in the Essential Drug List in each of the 39 government hospitals.
