Aam Aadmi Clinics: Changing the Way We Get Primary Care
The success of Aam Aadmi Clinics is a key part of this change. These centres offer free medicines, tests, and consultations, and there are now 883 of them open, and more are being added. They have treated 1.69 crore patients and had over 5 crore OPD visits. With a 94% satisfaction rate, they are the gold standard for primary healthcare in India.
Improving the workforce and infrastructure
Bhagwant Mann: The government has also focused on building long-term capacity, not just schemes. A record number of doctors hired, an extra ₹2,000 crore spent on healthcare in 2026–27, and better emergency response systems all show a commitment to long-term growth in the sector.
