Delhi to remodel 94 dispensaries with Rs. 168.58 crore

The plan to remodel 94 dispensaries into polyclinics in the national capital has received administrative approval and expenditure sanction of Rs. 168.58 crore from the Delhi government. The Delhi cabinet in July had approved the proposal for remodeling dispensaries into polyclinics in different areas of Delhi. In a letter, Director General of Health Services Kirti Bhushan wrote to PWD’s Engineer-in-Chief Rakesh Kumar Agrawal informing that a committee will be formed to monitor the remodeling work on a regular basis. The cost includes the comprehensive planning and designing for construction of new blocks, additional floors, and remodeling and upgradation of the existing blocks. The project will be completed as per the approved scope of work at the sanctioned cost within the stipulated period and no cost escalation will be allowed.

Adequate provision will be made for maintenance and upkeep for 5 years after completion of work. The aim of the remodeling of the dispensaries was to reorganize healthcare facilities. The polyclinics will be attached to various Delhi government hospitals. The polyclinics will act as satellite centers for outdoor specialized medical treatment centers of these hospitals. Medical superintendents of hospitals to which the polyclinics will be attached will be the overall in-charge of these polyclinics.
