New Delhi: Objecting to AAP government's proposal of opening mohalla clinics in over 300 government schools, parents in the national capital have approached Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal urging him to reconsider the decision.
"How can you permit outsiders in school during school hours? If clinic is exclusively for school students, it is welcome. But if it for general public, opening of such clinics within school premises is not permissible in law," All India Parents Association said in a letter to the CM.
The AAP government had recently announced that it is considering opening mohalla clinics in as many as 300 government schools which shall be open to general public.
In 2002, the Delhi High Court had directed a MCD school in Bawana area remove the dispensary from its premises as it led to the entry of outsiders in the school, which disturbed the students.
In a bid to decongest government hospitals and make healthcare accessible to all, Delhi government has adopted a "three-tier public health roadmap".
The polyclinics refer only patients who require surgery or hospitalisation to a multi-speciality hospital
