New Delhi, Dec 12: The Union Ministry of AYUSH has said that Jammu & Kashmir has 523 functional Ayushman Arogya Mandirs.
It also said that no such centre has been approved or functional in the Union Territory of Ladakh under the National Ayush Mission (NAM).
As per official details tabled in the Lok Sabha, J&K has a total of 523 approved Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, all of which are functional.
In contrast, Ladakh has zero approved and zero functional centres under the scheme.
Under the Integrated Ayush Hospitals (IAH) component, J&K has six approved units located in Kishtwar, Kupwara, Bilawar (Kathua), Kulgam, Samba and Gadi Garh, each with capacities ranging from 10 to 50 beds.
Among these, Kulgam is the only functional IAH, while construction is underway for the others.
The Ministry further said that Ayush infrastructure development, medicine supply and coordination primarily fall under State and UT governments, though the Centre provides support through NAM based on proposals submitted in State Annual Action Plans (SAAPs).
The Government stated that 12,500 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs and 203 Integrated Ayush Hospitals have been approved nationwide since the launch of the mission. (KNO)
