The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has announced the relaunch of its ambitious health initiative, ‘Aapli Chikitsa’, across 100 municipal health centres from Friday, August 1. The initiative aims to offer Mumbai citizens access to essential and advanced blood tests at highly subsidised rates. The reports of the tests will be delivered to the citizens on WhatsApp.

Additionally, patient data will be managed through the Health Management Information System (HMIS) to streamline record-keeping and analytics.

As part of its ongoing efforts towards accessible public healthcare, the Mumbai civic body plans to extend the health service to all municipal dispensaries by August 15.
