Healthcare accessibility took center stage in Delhi as 81 fresh Ayushman Arogya Mandir clinics opened their doors. AAP leader Harsh Malhotra joined CM Atishi for the launch, profusely praising the initiative as a ‘lifeline for the common man.’
From East Delhi’s fringes to West’s bustling markets, these clinics dot the map with precision. Equipped for everything from blood tests to minor surgeries, they enforce the promise of free, quality care. Projections indicate 15 lakh annual visits, drastically lowering referral rates to tertiary care.
Malhotra’s speech was a highlight, blending stats with sentiment. ‘We’ve built a system where health isn’t a luxury,’ he asserted, pointing to halved infant mortality and doubled OPD capacity since AAP’s tenure. He slammed opposition inaction, urging citizens to experience the change firsthand.
Rooted in the Ayushman Bharat framework, Delhi’s version innovates with portable labs and app-based bookings. Yoga sessions and diet clinics add a preventive layer, addressing lifestyle diseases head-on. Recent audits confirm 99% medicine availability, busting supply chain myths.
Crowds thronged the sites, sharing tales of transformed lives—no more bribes or long queues. This rollout, timed amid health policy debates, bolsters AAP’s narrative. Officials eye satellite expansions, ensuring no Delhiite is left behind. In Malhotra’s words, it’s ‘healthcare with heart,’ redefining governance.
