Punjab Opens 109 More Aam Aadmi Clinics, Taking Network to 990

The rollout links clinics with cashless insurance plus health cards to entrench routine access to free care.

Overview

  • Punjab, which inaugurated 109 Aam Aadmi Clinics on Saturday, now runs 990 neighborhood health centers statewide.
  • State leaders said about 400 additional clinics are planned next to push the network close to 1,500 sites.
  • Each clinic offers free primary care with 107 medicines and 47 diagnostic tests, and the network has logged over 50 million outpatient visits.
  • The state is issuing health cards to 6.5 million families, with 3 million made and 165,000 treatments recorded so far.
  • AAP leaders paired the expansion with an election-year pitch as Arvind Kejriwal urged voters to keep the party in power and warned rivals would cut free services.
