Delhi Government Refutes Mismanagement Allegations in Ayushman Arogya Mandirs

The Delhi government has dismissed allegations of financial mismanagement in the Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, stating that all centers adhere to the financial and technical standards set by the central authorities.

The Health and Family Welfare Department clarified that expenditures on these centers were in line with the central funding framework, denying claims that spending exceeded approved norms. Under central schemes, each center received substantial funds to upgrade infrastructure and improve healthcare services.

Official figures reveal that Rs 66.80 crore was allocated to operationalize 370 centers across Delhi, enhancing primary healthcare accessibility. Government representatives insist that any discrepancies alleged in media reports are baseless and emphasize that all developments follow the guidelines strictly.

Delhi Health Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh reaffirmed the commitment to transparency and adherence to government regulations, emphasizing that any misinterpretation of the expenditure risks sowing confusion about this significant healthcare initiative.
