CM launches 45 Ayushman Jan Arogya Mandirs

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Friday inaugurated 45 new Ayushman Jan Arogya Mandirs across the capital at an event in Shakurpur. She also inaugurated development projects worth about Rs 14.25 crore in the Tri Nagar assembly constituency.

Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister said the Ayushman Jan Arogya Mandirs offer general OPD services, maternal and child healthcare, routine immunisation, free screening for non-communicable diseases, essential medicines, health counselling and nearly 80 types of free diagnostic tests. She added that the centres would also place special emphasis on disease prevention, early detection, timely treatment and health awareness.

She said the initiative was not merely about opening new health centres but a significant step towards ensuring that every resident of the capital has access to quality, affordable and dignified healthcare. MLA from Tri Nagar Shri Tilak Ram Gupta, along with public representatives, officials of the Health Department, doctors, nursing staff and a large number of local residents, attended the programme.

The Chief Minister said that with the inauguration of these new centres, more than 415 Ayushman Jan Arogya Mandirs are now providing quality and accessible primary healthcare services close to people’s homes across Delhi. She expressed confidence that the Delhi Government would soon achieve its target of establishing more than 1,100 Ayushman Jan Arogya Mandirs. She said the Government’s aim is not only to treat illnesses but also to encourage people to adopt a healthier lifestyle. She urged citizens to undergo regular health check-ups, maintain a balanced lifestyle and make yoga and exercise a part of their daily routine.

After inaugurating the Ayushman Jan Arogya Mandirs, the chief minister also inaugurated development projects worth around Rs 14.25 crore in the Tri Nagar Assembly constituency. The projects include the reconstruction of five roads and a drain in the Netaji Subhash Place area. The beautification of Samrat Enclave Market was also launched. In addition, the Chief Minister inaugurated development works at Gurjar Chaupal, Saini Chaupal and the Shakurpur cremation ground.

Along with this, eight major roads developed by the PWD at a cost of Rs 6.25 crore, including Lawrence Road, Maharshi Parashuram Marg, Parwana Road, G & H Shakurpur Road, Ekalavya Marg, Thiruvalluvar Marg, and Veer Hemu Marg, were also inaugurated.

The objective, she said, is to build a system where every citizen has timely access to healthcare, better roads and modern public facilities, enabling Delhi to move forward as a healthier, more prosperous and developed capital. She said that, for the first time, development work is being carried out on a large scale across every Assembly constituency, covering roads, drains, colonies and slum clusters.
