Chief Minister Gupta reverses AAP govt’s stand, agrees to sign MoU with Centre for health centres. Rekha Gupta government also plans to expand the coverage of health schemes in gated societies and posh areas by raising the number of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) and enrolling 1 lakh Ayushman Bharat beneficiaries in a month. An additional 413 Urban Health Centres are to be built to supplement the existing 553 Mohalla Clinics that would also be upgraded to U-AAMs, as per a note prepared by the Health Secretary for the Cabinet’s consideration. The Health Department has also been tasked by the CM to set up within 30 days 11 new model U-aAMs – one each in every district – under the supervision of the District Magistrates. The decision to work in close cooperation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is in sync with the ruling BJP’s election promise to improve health services in the city.
