Patients at an HBT Clinic in Worli. Women outnumber men at these clinics, say doctors
BMC’s flagship Aapla Davakhana-Hinduhridaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray (HBT) clinic has been drawing crowds who previously sought consultations at private facilities. With advertisements on numerous BEST buses, as well as at stops and hoardings throughout the city, the initiative launched in 2022 is one of the most widely publicised. Patients from two clinics in the G-south ward also mentioned that this was their first time utilising any of BMC’s health facilities.
Suman Singh, a 50-year-old homemaker who moved to Worli three years ago from Airoli, discovered she had diabetes a year ago during a blood test. “I used to visit private doctors for common ailments. After being diagnosed with diabetes, a neighbour told me about the HBT clinic. There were also many ads, so I decided to seek treatment here,” she said.
