Delhi to Open 187 More Ayushman Arogya Mandirs by December, 168 Already Operational

The upgrade replaces rented Mohalla Clinic sites with IPHS-compliant facilities under Ayushman Bharat.

Overview

  • The campaign upgrades sub-health, primary and urban primary health centres into comprehensive neighbourhood facilities under Ayushman Bharat.
  • New sites will function from government-owned buildings rather than rented premises, according to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.
  • Centres are designed to meet Indian Public Health Standards to ensure uniform infrastructure, staffing, medicines, diagnostics and governance.
  • Services span OPD consultations, free medicines, diagnostic tests, maternal and child care, family planning, management of communicable and non-communicable diseases, mental health support and emergency assistance.
  • The government says residents near former Mohalla Clinics continue to receive care through nearby Arogya Mandirs or other public facilities.
