Today about 35% of Delhi population is living in the J.J. Clusters and unauthorized colonies. Civic bodies are not able to provide required civic amenities as they are all settled in the area labeled as unauthorized. Newly formed Government of Delhi took a serious note of poor health status of residents of J.J. Clusters and decided to strengthen Mobile Health Scheme to provide basic health care to the residents at their door-step according to their felt needs. To start with a fleet of 20 mobile dispensaries was launched covering different J.J. Clusters all over Delhi on weakly basis in1989. Due to paucity to resources and keen interest shown by some NGO’s Delhi Government invited NGO sector to participate in the scheme and as a result, a fleet of 90 mobile Dispensaries started providing health care to the J. J. Clusters / unserved areas / construction sites.
