CM confirmed AAMS would have permanent, well-equipped infrastructure, staffed by qualified medical professionals. They would offer comprehensive services, including preventive care, family planning, immunisations and essential medicines. She criticised the mohalla clinic model, alleging it fostered corruption instead of benefiting the public. She pointed out that numerous clinics were constructed near drains, staffed by untrained personnel and outsourced all testing, resulting in financial irregularities. She also noted problems like rental costs and clinics becoming centres of antisocial activities. She claimed that the central govt allocated ₹2,400 crore in health grants for Delhi to establish AAMs five years ago, which the previous govt didn't use. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Seniors Qualify For the New 87¢ Generic Viagra - See How Health Alliance by Friday Plans Learn More Undo Her govt intended to establish over 1,100 AAM centres by March next year, she said.
