Taking another big step towards strengthening health facilities, 51 new Ayushman Arogya Mandirs were simultaneously inaugurated in the capital Delhi on Friday (February 13). With this, the number of Ayushman Arogya temples started in Delhi has reached 370 in just one year. The government says that this achievement shows its fast pace and ability to work on a large scale.
According to the government, common Delhiites are getting the biggest benefit from these Ayushman Arogya temples. Now people do not have to rush to big hospitals for minor diseases. The facilities for testing, treatment and essential medicines are available in their own area. The special thing is that most of the services available here are completely free.
These facilities are available in Ayushman Arogya temples
Services like free check-up, free medicines, modern diagnostic facilities, early cancer detection, vaccination, maternal and child care are being provided to the patients in Ayushman Arogya Mandir. Due to this, the elderly, women, children and poor families are getting the most relief. In many areas, these centers have emerged as the first treatment centers for the people.
‘This is just the beginning’
The government has made it clear that this is just the beginning. A target has been set to open more than 1100 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs in the coming time. Its objective is that every citizen can get reliable and quality health services near his home. This will also reduce the increasing burden on government hospitals.
‘The disease can be identified early itself’
Central and state governments are making continuous efforts to strengthen primary health services across the country. The government believes that by providing treatment facilities at the locality level, the disease can be identified in the early stages, which reduces the risk of developing a serious disease and also reduces the cost of treatment. Ayushman Arogya Mandir in Delhi has been developed under this thinking.
On this occasion, MP Ramveer Singh Bidhuri, MLA Kartar Singh Tanwar, Corporation Councilor Sunder Singh Tanwar and many other public representatives and local people were present. Everyone described this initiative as very useful for the public.
Overall, the rapid expansion of Ayushman Arogya temples in Delhi is a relief news for the common people. This will not only save time and money, but every citizen will also be able to get respectable and accessible health facilities.
