New Delhi/Lonavala: Union minister Prataprao Jadhav on Thursday said the country has seen a remarkable improvement in the accessibility of Ayush healthcare services, with the number of beneficiaries rising from 1.5 crore in 2021 to more than 11.5 crore in 2025.
After inaugurating the NAM Conclave in Lonavala, Jadhav, Union minister of state (independent charge) for Ayush and minister of state, health & family welfare ministry, said, “The ministry had organised a NAM Conclave in 2023, where several ministers and senior officials from various states and UTs shared valuable insights for the effective implementation of the NAM scheme.
That dialogue resulted in the formulation of an action plan to improve the execution and outcomes of the National Ayush Mission. Establishment of 12,500 Ayushman Arogya Mandir (Ayush) has significantly enhanced healthcare availability, with the number of beneficiaries rising from 1.5 crore in 2021 to more than 11.5 crore in 2025.
As a result, there has been a remarkable improvement in the accessibility of Ayush healthcare services, driven by improved infrastructure, availability of medicines, trained manpower, and strengthened educational institutions.”
Encouraged by the previous success, he added, “I am confident that this second edition of the National Ayush Mission Conclave will serve as a robust platform for both States/UTs and the central govt to jointly review the mission’s progress, strengthen governance systems, promote innovation, streamline financial processes, and ensure rapid and effective implementation of programmes at the grassroots level.
On this occasion, I extend my heartfelt best wishes for the success of the Conclave to the teams working tirelessly at both the state/UT and central levels.” Highlighting the strides taken by various states and union territories in the Ayush sector, the conclave on Thursday set the stage for a future roadmap to consolidate and expand the outreach of services across the nation.
