Mohalla clinics were started as a flagship scheme for healthcare services by the Delhi Government in July 2015. The primary motive of these clinics was to make healthcare easily affordable and accessible. This scheme has become popular in Delhi and a number of other Indian states are trying to establish similar centers. This report indicates that the primary beneficiaries of this scheme are women, children, and the elderly. The research on the Mohalla clinic scheme in Delhi was primarily conducted to understand the feasibility of this scheme and also to understand the dynamics of primary, secondary, and tertiary healthcare systems in India.
