Abstract
“Mohalla” in Hindi language means community or neighborhood. In July 2015, government of Delhi started establishing Mohalla (or community/neighbourhood) clinics (MCs) for strengthening primary healthcare services in Delhi, India. Primary objectives these clinics include making primary care accessible and affordable, reducing burden on tertiary care facilities etc. This article contains a review of past publications concerned with MCs to assess their performance. A systematic review based on PRISMA 2020 guidelines was carried out and database search was completed on 8 Feb, 2022. A total of 24 studies were finally selected for review. The review revealed that MCs have the potential to make primary care services accessible and can help in achieving universal health coverage. These clinics provide cost-effective primary care services and avoid overcrowding in big hospitals. MCs circumvent self-medication practices and are highly effective in low-income settings. To improve efficiency of MCs, it is suggested to strengthen health workforce and expansion of MCs beyond primary care. Additionally, there is a need of functional referral system along with launching telemedicine services at MCs
