“We have provided high quality healthcare services to the middle class families by expanding the AIIMS and Ayushman Arogya Mandir network. We have provided subsidised medicines through Jan Aushadhi Kendras and also established 315 new medical colleges across the country. We will continue to expand these services for our middle class families to ensure accessible high quality healthcare services.”
Continued expansion is clearly evident: medical colleges rose from about 380 in 2014 to over 700; Jan Aushadhi Kendras crossed 14,000 (towards a 25,000 target by 2026); the AIIMS network expanded (about 20 operational, five inaugurated in February 2024); over 1.5 lakh Ayushman Arogya Mandirs are in place; and 75,000 new medical seats were announced over five years. Delivery is active and on the pledged trajectory. Partial because the pledge is open-ended ("continue to expand") rather than a fixed, completable target.
75,000 new medical seats announced over five years; 1.5 lakh+ Ayushman Arogya Mandirs operational; Jan Aushadhi network expanding past 10,000 (towards 25,000 by 2026).
