MCD Dispensary

MCD Dispensaries are primary healthcare units operated by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. Spread across neighborhoods, these centers serve as the first point of medical contact for local residents, especially from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Their primary aim is to offer basic but essential healthcare services close to where people live.

These dispensaries provide outpatient consultations, immunizations, antenatal care, minor ailment treatment, and health education. They are staffed by general physicians, nurses, and pharmacists. MCD dispensaries also support disease surveillance, school health programs, and seasonal illness control efforts in coordination with higher-level health bodies.

Serving as the backbone of Delhi’s public health outreach, MCD dispensaries help reduce the patient load on major hospitals. Their focus on accessible, community-level care makes them a vital part of the city’s healthcare delivery system.
