Overview

• Chief Minister Rekha Gupta led the simultaneous inauguration of 33 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs alongside 17 Jan Aushadhi Kendras across Delhi’s 70 Assembly constituencies.
• The network is being funded by a previously unspent ₹2,400 crore central grant sanctioned in 2020, which must be utilized before it lapses.
• Each Arogya Mandir boasts permanent infrastructure, in-house labs for basic diagnostics and 12 service packages covering everything from maternal health to chronic disease management.
• Officials say the new centres will bring care closer to communities and ease pressure on larger hospitals by providing free primary services locally.
• AAP leaders allege the BJP is rebranding old Mohalla Clinics as new Arogya Mandirs, a charge the government denies.
