Chandigarh, Oct. 28 -- The Punjab Government is planning a pilot project to open Aam Aadmi Clinics in central jails for inmates, health and family welfare minister Dr Balbir Singh said on Monday. Apart from treating physical ailments, taking care of the mental health of inmates is equally important, he said. "We recognise that many who are behind bars are mentally disturbed, which can be a factor in them committing crimes," he said. Terming jails as "sudhar ghars" (reform homes), Dr Balbir Singh affirmed that true justice lies in reforming individuals. "When an inmate leaves the jail, they should be healthy in both body and mind," he said. Dr Balbir Singh stated that psychologists and psychiatrists would be deputed in Aam Aadmi Clinics at jails. The expansion into correctional facilities comes on the back of the outstanding performance of the 881 Aam Aadmi Clinics already functional in the state. These clinics have achieved a landmark by providing free treatment to over 4.20 crore people, with more than 2.29 crore diagnostic tests conducted free of cost since their inception on August 15, 2022, he said....
