MUMBAI: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) celebrated the first anniversary of the “Hinduhridaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Aapla Dawakhana Yojana” by launching a radio jingle.
This jingle will be broadcast on local trains, buses, and other high-traffic areas, as stated by the BMC.
The Aapla Dawakhana initiative, designed to provide medical facilities to the public, was inaugurated in October last year. Civic officials have ambitious plans to open 250 such dawakhanas by the end of this year. During the launch event, the BMC highlighted the growing number of beneficiaries, exceeding 23 lakhs.
Cabinet Minister Mangalprabhat Lodha, who inaugurated the jingle, stressed the importance of citizen feedback in enhancing healthcare services. He stated, “Our goal is to ensure top-notch healthcare services reach every doorstep. Constructive feedback from citizens will enable us to tailor civic services to their evolving needs.”
Dr. Daksha Shah, the executive health officer, revealed plans to increase the number of Aapla Dawakhanas to 200 by the end of the month, with a target of reaching 250 by the year’s end. These dawakhanas, operating from portable cabins of approximately 600 square feet each, serve as community clinics.
