BJP had started the 'Atal Mohalla Clinic' scheme
Let us tell you that former Chief Minister Raghuvar Das had started the 'Atal Mohalla Clinic' scheme on the first death anniversary of former Prime Minister Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee in August 2019 to overcome the lack of quality health services in urban slums. At present, a total of 140 Atal Mohalla Clinics are functioning in the state, which provide free and primary health services, which has now been renamed as "Mother Teresa Advanced Health Clinic".
On the other hand, reacting to the decision taken by the cabinet, Jharkhand Health Minister Dr. Irfan Ansari has said that it has been decided to rename Atal Clinic as Mother Teresa Advanced Health Clinic, because Mother Teresa has made a wonderful contribution in the field of health. While counting the achievements of his government, he said that after women, elderly, now the state government is taking many steps to provide better health facilities and social security to the disabled as well.
