- The expansion advances Delhi’s shift from Mohalla Clinics to larger, better-equipped centres on government-owned sites rather than rentals.
- New centres provide OPD care, on-site diagnostics and labs, free essential medicines, maternal and child services, NCD screening, mental health support, basic dental care and tele-consultations.
- NDMC said its rebranded dispensaries will add lab testing and receive an additional Rs 25 lakh each year to enhance services.
- Government figures cite roughly 5.5 lakh Ayushman health cards issued in Delhi, 12,980 hospital admissions and about Rs 21.10 crore in settled claims.
- Reported totals for operational Mandirs differ across outlets, with some citing around 250 even as the government pegs the count at 238.
