Mohalla clinics are neighbourhood clinics set up by Delhi government in 158 locations across the city that provide high-quality primary healthcare at an extremely low cost to previously unserved communities. Diagnosis, medicines and tests are all provided free of cost in mohalla clinics. These are set up either in porta cabins or in rented properties. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which has been praised for its work in the field of health, has not been able to provide the promised 1,000 mohalla clinics even after four-and-a-half years of rule, as only 191 clinics were operational by March.

Initially, the project was delayed as the AAP government and the lieutenant-general's office were at loggerheads over the clearance of various flagship projects of the party, including mohalla clinics. A majority of these possess swasthya slates — medical devices that perform 33 common medical tests. Each of these costs around Rs 60,000.
The device uploads its data into a cloud-based medical record management system that can be accessed by the patient. It can diagnose blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rate, blood haemoglobin, urine protein and glucose. It also runs tests for diseases like malaria, dengue, hepatitis, HIV and typhoid.
As per government figures from December 2018, around 40 lakh Delhiites have availed of health services at Mohalla Clinics, as of December 2018.
