Delhi CM to inaugurate 34 new AAMs, 8 Jan Aushadhi Kendras

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta will inaugurate 34 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (AAMs) and eight Jan Aushadhi Kendras across government hospitals on Thursday.

Last month, the government launched 33 AAMs across the city and is planning to launch a total of 1,139 in phases, with the aim of delivering primary services such as prenatal and postnatal care, immunisation, mental health counselling, among other services.

While some of Aam Aadmi Party’s mohalla clinics have been upgraded and rebranded, the Delhi government has scouted for new locations for others.

Ms. Gupta will also launch the Hospital Information Management System (HIMS), which is developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. HIMS will include Outpatient Department (OPD) and Inpatient Department (IPD) registration, laboratory and radiology integration, electronic medical records, inventory and operation theatre management, and centralised hospital dashboards.

Training for OPD and IPD modules has been completed across all Delhi government hospitals, with the remaining modules set to be implemented in a phased manner, the CM’s office said in a statement on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the new Jan Aushadhi Kendras will be launched across government hospitals in the city on Thursday. These centres will offer over 2,000 generic medicines and 300 surgical items at prices 50-80% lower than market brands.
