Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said more than 150 Aam Aadmi Clinics have been launched across Punjab to expand affordable primary health care.
Punjab's Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announced that the state has inaugurated over 150 additional Aam Aadmi Clinics in recent weeks. The clinics are part of the government's effort to broaden access to low‑cost primary health services, especially in rural and underserved areas. Each facility is equipped to provide basic outpatient care, preventive services and health education to local residents.
The rollout follows earlier phases of the Aam Aadmi Clinic scheme, which aimed to create a network of community‑level health centres across the state. Officials say the new centres will operate under a standardized model, with trained medical staff and essential medicines available at nominal charges.
State health officials expect the expanded network to reduce the burden on larger hospitals and improve early detection of common ailments. The government plans to monitor patient footfall and health outcomes to fine‑tune service delivery.
No further details on the exact locations or the timeline for future openings were provided at the press briefing.
