New Delhi, Jul 21 (PTI) Delhi Health Minister Pankaj Singh on Monday said more than 30 new Ayushman Arogya Mandirs will be inaugurated across the national capital by the end of this month, and 75 more by August.
A study is underway to identify and establish these centres at over 950 locations in the city, Singh said during a meeting at the Delhi Secretariat.
The minister ordered identification of vacant spaces in community centres, banquet halls, market shops, polyclinics, and other unused government facilities for the expansion.
A total of 429 sites under the MCD have already been identified, with 98 getting the no-objection certificates.
“The government is committed to setting up 1,139 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs to ensure affordable and accessible healthcare for every citizen of Delhi,” the minister said, adding that rural clusters and under-served areas would be included in the roll-out.
The mandirs, or clinics, are a central government initiative, envisaged to deliver non-communicable diseases, palliative and rehabilitative care, oral, eye and ENT, and mental health care. PTI NSM VN VN
