In 2015, when AAP came to power, this was the situation of the Healthcare sector in Delhi:
- Non-Existent primary healthcare system with HIGH out of pocket expenses
- Severe shortage of Medicines which were always out of stock
- Overcrowded Hospitals with long wait times for diagnostics and surgeries
Now in 2021 – after AAP:
- Tier-1 Mohalla Clinics – an affordable innovation (500+ have been built) designed to provide accessible primary healthcare
- 27 Tier-2 Polyclinics that receive referrals from Mohalla clinics and provide consultations with specialists
- 32+ Tier-3 Government Specialty Hospitals (+Private accessible through’ the Delhi Arogya Kosh DAK scheme) provide high quality free tertiary care
- Improved Emergency Care through innovations such as the Farishte Dilli Ke scheme
