In a significant move to revolutionize healthcare accessibility, Chandigarh's Administrator, Shri Banwarilal Purohit, has inaugurated the groundbreaking Ayushman Arogya Mandir initiative at the Model Ayurvedic Hospital in Sector 53. This pioneering healthcare model promises to transform medical services for Chandigarh residents by creating a comprehensive wellness ecosystem.
A New Era of Integrated Healthcare
The Ayushman Arogya Mandir represents a visionary approach to healthcare, seamlessly blending traditional Indian medical systems with modern facilities. During the inauguration ceremony, Administrator Purohit emphasized that this initiative marks a crucial step toward making quality healthcare accessible to every citizen, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
"This model embodies our commitment to providing holistic healthcare that combines the best of ancient wisdom and modern medical science," stated Purohit, highlighting the initiative's potential to serve as a blueprint for other regions.
Comprehensive Healthcare Services
The newly launched facility offers an extensive range of medical services designed to address diverse healthcare needs:
- Integration of Ayurveda, Yoga, and other traditional healing systems
- Modern diagnostic and treatment facilities
- Specialized wellness programs and preventive care
- Accessible healthcare for all income groups
- Community health awareness initiatives
Strengthening Ayushman Bharat Mission
The Ayushman Arogya Mandir initiative significantly enhances the existing Ayushman Bharat scheme by creating dedicated spaces for comprehensive healthcare delivery. This strategic expansion ensures that beneficiaries receive not just treatment but complete wellness support in a single, integrated environment.
The model demonstrates Chandigarh's progressive approach to public health, focusing on preventive care while maintaining robust treatment capabilities. By establishing these specialized healthcare hubs, the administration aims to reduce the burden on major hospitals while providing personalized care closer to communities.
Future Vision and Impact
Administrator Purohit expressed confidence that the Ayushman Arogya Mandir would set new standards in public healthcare delivery. The initiative is expected to:
