Delhi’s healthcare model sets national benchmark: Rai

The Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government has inaugurated a new super specialty polyclinic in Babarpur, marking the fifth such facility under Guru Tegh Bahadur (GTB) Hospital. This initiative underscores the government’s commitment to providing top-quality healthcare for Delhi residents.
Delhi Cabinet Minister and area MLA Gopal Rai, who inaugurated the polyclinic, highlighted its role in the AAP government’s three-tier healthcare model, which integrates primary, secondary, and tertiary services. He noted that this model has proven to be highly effective in addressing public health needs and catering to a large population.
The Babarpur polyclinic offers a range of multi-specialty services, including internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, dermatology, ENT, ophthalmology, orthopedics, and bi-weekly surgery consultations. It also provides free medicines for allopathic, Unani, and Ayurvedic treatments.
Operating from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, the polyclinic is equipped for minor surgical procedures, ECGs, and blood and urine tests. Diagnostic samples will be processed in collaboration with GTB Hospital, ensuring comprehensive support.
“This polyclinic serves as an extension of GTB Hospital,” said Minister Gopal Rai. “Doctors from GTB Hospital will be available here daily, with specialists attending on specific days. It also complements the nearby Mohalla Clinics by serving as a referral point for patients requiring advanced care.”
He further elaborated on the facilities, stating, “The polyclinic provides ECG, blood and urine tests, specialized consultations in medicine, gynecology, and general healthcare, along with free medicines for allopathic, Unani, and Ayurvedic treatments.”
The Delhi government plans to establish polyclinics in all major areas of the city, complementing its extensive network of Mohalla Clinics. In Babarpur alone, 15 Mohalla Clinics are operational, with more polyclinics being planned across the national capital to bring quality healthcare closer to residents’ homes.
