CM Rekha Gupta Dedicates 81 New Ayushman Arogya Mandirs to Strengthen Delhi’s Primary Healthcare

New Delhi, 14 January 2026– The Chief Minister of Delhi,  Rekha Gupta, on Wednesday, the auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti, dedicated 81 new Ayushman Arogya Mandirs to the people of Delhi from the Hari Nagar Assembly constituency. With the inauguration of these new centres, the total number of operational Ayushman Arogya Mandirs in Delhi has increased to 319. This marks a significant step towards the goal of establishing 15 centres in each Assembly constituency and a total of 1,100 Ayushman Arogya Centres across Delhi.

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta conducted a detailed inspection of the various healthcare facilities available at the Ayushman Arogya Mandir. She reviewed the OPD rooms, laboratories, medicine distribution counters, vaccination units and maternal and child care centres, and assessed the quality of arrangements and operational systems. The Chief Minister interacted with nurses, doctors and paramedical staff, seeking feedback on their work experience and the services being provided to patients. She also reviewed the health record system, examined the processes for patient registration, medical records, and data management in detail, and directed officials to ensure that the record system remains fully transparent, accurate, and user-friendly. MLA from Hari Nagar, Shri Shyam Sharma, along with other dignitaries, were present on the occasion.

Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that dedicating 81 new Ayushman Arogya Mandirs to the people of Delhi on the auspicious festivals of Makar Sankranti and Lohri is a matter of special satisfaction for the government. She stated that, due to the neglect of health infrastructure during previous governments’ tenures, several hospital projects remained stalled for years. The present government is now completing all such unfinished projects with transparency and within a defined framework.

The Chief Minister said that under the leadership of the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Central Government has been consistently supporting the expansion of Delhi’s healthcare infrastructure. As part of this effort, new Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, laboratories and healthcare infrastructure are being developed. Over the past 11 months, the Delhi Government has undertaken key initiatives, including the establishment of 319 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, Jan Aushadhi Kendras, new blocks in five major hospitals, installation of new dialysis machines and digitisation of all government hospitals. Today, patients in Delhi’s government hospitals can access OPD appointments and medical records through mobile phones, ensuring greater transparency and convenience in healthcare services.

She further said that under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, more than six lakh citizens in Delhi have been registered, and thousands of families have already benefited from free treatment. The income limit for treatment under the EWS category has been increased from ₹2.5 lakh to ₹5 lakh.

Expressing confidence, the Chief Minister said that the expansion of Ayushman Arogya Mandirs will reduce the burden on major hospitals and ensure accessible, free and dignified primary healthcare services close to citizens’ homes. She reiterated that building a ‘Viksit Delhi’ in line with the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ remains the government’s firm resolve.
