Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PM-ABHIM).
In a significant step towards strengthening healthcare infrastructure, the Delhi government will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on March 18, 2025, to implement the Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PM-ABHIM). Under this scheme, 1,139 Urban Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (U-AAMs) will be set up in Delhi to enhance primary healthcare services and respond to future pandemics and outbreaks. The scheme also includes upgrading 553 existing mohalla clinics and establishing 413 new U-AAMs. This move comes after a prolonged legal battle and a change in Delhi’s political scenario.
