  • Decentralisation and Urban Primary Health Services: a Case Study of Delhi’S Mohalla Clinics
    RESEARCH and EVALUATION (PEER REVIEWED) Decentralisation and urban primary health services: a case study of Delhi’s Mohalla Clinics Commonwealth Journal of Local Governance Issue 23: 2020 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/ojs/index.php/cjlg Sejal Patel Faculty of Planning CEPT University Ahmedabad 380009 India Email: [email protected]. Priyankita Pant Faculty of Planning CEPT University Ahmedabad 380009 India Email: [email protected] Abstract The Indian political party Aam Aadmi, which assumed power in the city-state of Delhi in 2015, introduced Mohalla Clinics (i.e. neighbourhood clinics) to provide free primary health services for all, as a response to the rising inaccessibility of primary healthcare facilities for the urban poor. These clinics were to be governed through Mohalla Sabhas (i.e. neighbourhood committees), which are instruments of participatory governance within the neighbourhood. The research compares promises and practice for Mohalla Clinics, especially focusing on governance and the politics surrounding it. The authors find that in their current form Mohalla Clinics are limited to providing primary curative healthcare and have shown limited success, although Mohalla Clinic users do save time and expenditure on primary healthcare, and the clinics have led to a more comprehensive form of primary healthcare than in the past. However, Mohalla Clinics are governed in a top-down fashion by the Government of the National Capital Territory-Delhi, and not by urban local bodies or the envisaged neighbourhood committees. As a result, they face problems that may inhibit their functioning in the long term.

  • Bridging Disconnected Knowledges for Community Health
    Bridging Disconnected Knowledges for Community Health AZRA ISMAIL, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA NAVEENA KARUSALA, University of Washington, USA NEHA KUMAR, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA We present a qualitative inquiry of the Mohalla (neighborhood) Clinics introduced by the government of Delhi (India) to improve access to healthcare among the “weakest sections of society”. We share our findings from fieldwork conducted in and around two Mohalla Clinics to understand the provision anduptakeof healthcare services and healthy practices, uncovering factors that obstruct access and adoption. We thus draw on and extend research that examines challenges facing public health infrastructures in underserved contexts by taking a critical feminist approach. Using Haraway’s lens of situated knowledges, we highlight the disconnects present across the partial perspectives of the clinics’ stakeholders, including the healthcare 75 providers, community health workers, and patient groups. We also analyze how these disconnects affect collaborations, negotiations, and contestations around healthcare. Finally, we provide takeaways from our research towards bridging disconnected knowledges by way of redesigning healthcare interventions, revisiting patient empowerment, and redefining the role of frontline health workers as key infomediaries.

In other words, through first and second hand data collection this research project aims to conclude whether or not the Mohalla Clinics have increased the efficiency of the public healthcare system in the national capital. Access to quality healthcare services is the fundamental right of every individual to lead a dignified life and hence, every government must ensure that it caters to its citizens’ healthcare needs. A healthy population also serves as an asset to the nation and comprises a strong human resource capital. Thus, a government that invests in its social sector reaps higher dividend in future in the form of higher productivity, employment, and economic growth. While health broadly includes physical, social and mental well being of a person, at the most primary level, ensuring physical wellness of the population is the most basic requirement that the government must fulfill.

  • Automotive and Spare Parts
    © Republic of Turkey - Ministry of Economy, 2018 0 AUTOMOTIVE AND SPARE PARTS TURKEY’S VEHICLE INDUSTRY PRODUCTION Vehicle industry production in Turkey dates back to the mid-1950s and the industry gained momentum in the early 1960s. After manufacturing some prototype vehicles during the 1950s, the first vehicle assembly company was established in 1954 (Turk Willys Overland Ltd.) for jeep manufacturing. By 1955, trucks, and by 1963, buses were being assembled in Turkey. Then passenger car assembly companies, namely TOFAŞ (FIAT), OYAK (RENAULT) and OTOSAN (FORD) began operations in the next three years. In 1966, the industry also began to assemble its own cars (OTOSAN). The Turkish-made passenger car of those times, “ANADOL”, is nostalgia now. The two major producers of cars, TOFAŞ and OYAK-RENAULT, under Italian and French licenses respectively, established their production lines in 1971. Recently, Japanese and South Korean car manufacturers have established joint-ventures in Turkey. As to passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, Turkish manufacturers are becoming world production centers of global companies, with whom they have license agreements. At present, Turkey is the biggest light commercial vehicle and bus manufacturer in the European Union. Table 1: Companies in Automotive Industry Company Location Products Anadolu Isuzu O.S.
