Overview
- Chief Minister Rekha Gupta inaugurated 70 centres on Tuesday, taking the city’s Ayushman Arogya Mandirs to more than 200 operational sites.
- The network has been built in roughly eight months under the new administration, reflecting a shift from the earlier Mohalla Clinics model.
- Officials said another 187 centres are targeted to become operational by December 31, with a longer-term plan for 1,139 across Delhi.
- The government says Mandirs are being run to Indian Public Health Standards and will move away from rented premises to government land and buildings.
- Each centre offers OPD care, free medicines, diagnostics, maternal and child services, elderly care, mental health and basic dental treatment, and serves as a local PMJAY enrollment point to reduce hospital load.
