AAP'S FLAGSHIP MOHALLA CLINICS FACE CLOSURE

While the initiative promised to revolutionize healthcare for the city's poorest, its current state suggests otherwise.

A visit to several clinics across Delhi reveals a range of operational challenges, including untimely closures and acute staff shortages, which have left many clinics non-functional. In South Delhi's Lado Sarai, a clinic has remained closed for nearly a month due to a lack of staff.

"The doctor here was quite good, and I visited frequently.

But since the closure, we've had to seek private healthcare options," shared local resident Santosh.

In East Delhi, another clinic, despite being officially open, frequently shuts down.
