Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare and Tribal Affairs Bharati Pravin Pawar has asserted that the Union government “would rethink about the release of budget” for the ‘Ayushman Arogya Mandir’, Ayushman Bharat Health and Wellness Centres (AB-HWCs), if the State government failed to give due credit to the Union government.
The Union Government and State government have entered into an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) over the Ayushman Arogya Mandirs.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP office on Sunday, the Minister said that Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat and Aarogyasri are co-branded schemes. The State government should give due space and credit in the implementation of those schemes. The State government should honour the branding guidelines, and terms of the MoU with regard to the ‘Ayushman Arogya Mandirs.
