Marking a milestone in urban healthcare, authorities in Delhi unveiled 81 new Ayushman Arogya Mandir outlets today. The inauguration, led by Chief Minister Atishi, was celebrated by AAP’s Harsh Malhotra as a testament to visionary leadership.
Strategically located in high-density neighborhoods, these state-of-the-art clinics feature digital health records, telemedicine kiosks, and specialist tie-ups. They aim to deliver primary care to 20 lakh beneficiaries, aligning with SDGs for universal health coverage. Each center operates round-the-clock, staffed by MBBS doctors and nurses trained in preventive medicine.
Harsh Malhotra’s endorsement was unequivocal. ‘The AAP government’s health revolution continues unabated,’ he stated, highlighting a 90% patient satisfaction rate from prior setups. He shared stories of lives saved—from maternal care to elderly dialysis—crediting doorstep delivery for bridging urban-rural divides within the city.
Data underscores the impact: Ayushman cards issued have surged 25%, with zero premium schemes covering critical illnesses. These mandirs complement the 24×7 mohalla model, incorporating wellness programs like nutrition counseling and mental health support. Amid rising NCDs, their role in community screening is pivotal.
Stakeholders, including NGOs, welcomed the move for its inclusivity, targeting migrants and informal workers. With Delhi’s population exploding, such infrastructure is crucial for resilience. As Malhotra noted, this isn’t politics—it’s public service. Future phases promise AI-driven diagnostics, positioning Delhi as a global health hub.
