Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, along with her Cabinet Ministers and BJP legislators, launched 51 new Ayushman Arogya Mandirs in Delhi, increasing the total to 370 in just one year. Chief Minister Gupta criticized the previous Congress and Aam Aadmi Party governments for not adequately addressing public grievances. She highlighted the BJP government’s commitment to development, inaugurating projects worth over Rs 322 crore in the Chhatarpur Assembly.
Through these initiatives, the government aims to improve road infrastructure, drainage systems, schools, traffic management, and overall basic infrastructure in the area. Minister of Health and Family Welfare Pankaj Kumar Singh mentioned that over 14 lakh citizens have already received treatment at Ayushman Arogya Mandirs. Singh emphasized the government’s goal of establishing more than 1,100 such centers across Delhi to provide accessible primary healthcare to every neighborhood.
The Ayushman Arogya Mandir initiative aims to offer quality healthcare services closer to communities, reducing the need for long travels to hospitals for basic medical needs. These centers provide free doctor consultations, medicines, diagnostic tests, and various healthcare services, including screenings for diabetes, hypertension, cancer, maternal and child healthcare, immunization, and mental health support. The government is also developing Integrated Public Health Laboratories and Critical Care Blocks to enhance Delhi’s public healthcare infrastructure.
