It further said that the project was launched following the directive of Eknath Shinde, the State Housing Minister, with the goal of offering accessible healthcare to the common people. In partnership with One Rupee Clinic by Magicdil Health for All, MHADA aims to provide essential healthcare services at very affordable rates.
It said that under the programme, the Mumbai board of MHADA will implement the Aapla Davakhana scheme in 34 residential colonies falling under its jurisdiction.
