While civic dispensaries have been set up to treat minor ailments across Mumbai, citizens can seek help with regard to mental illness at these clinics as well from today. Ahead of World Health Day, April 7, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) announced that Manshakti clinics, which provide mental health services, will be included in its dispensaries including Hindu Hriday Samrat Aapla Dawakhanas.
The move was carried out keeping in mind this year’s World Health Day theme, ‘Health for All’. The BMC has also started 44 new dispensaries. With this, the number of Aapla Dawakhanas in Mumbai has increased to 151, including 24 polyclinics.
