Our Assessment

Dedicated elderly OPD services operate under Maharashtra's NPHCE programme. GMCH Nagpur reported continued daily geriatric clinics in June 2025. These services partly meet the pledge, but many predate the election; an updated hospital-by-hospital register confirming dedicated OPDs in every government hospital remains unavailable.

The reasoning behind the verdict

Why this assessment?

Reviewed 25 Oct 2026

01 · Delivery status

Why partially done?

Operational dedicated elderly clinics establish partial service provision. Evidence does not establish the promised universal coverage of all government hospitals or distinguish every post-election addition.

02 · Strength of evidence

Why medium confidence?

NHM Maharashtra documents dedicated elderly OPDs, historical district expansion and service activity. June 2025 reporting confirms Nagpur's continuing clinic, which opened in March 2024. Programme participation and patient visits are not treated as hospital-coverage counts.

What would help us reassess?

The documents that could clarify delivery of this commitment.

A current government-hospital denominator and facility-wise register of operational senior OPDs, staffing, clinic schedules, opening dates and patient services.

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes the evidence.
