The Haryana health department announced plans to set up nine new health centres to broaden primary care coverage in the state.
The health department of Haryana has approved the creation of nine additional health centres aimed at strengthening primary healthcare delivery across the state. The new facilities will be distributed in various districts to improve access to medical services for rural and underserved populations. Officials said the centres will be equipped with basic diagnostic tools and staffed by qualified medical personnel. The rollout is part of the state’s broader strategy to enhance health infrastructure and reduce the burden on existing hospitals. Completion is expected over the coming months, subject to standard construction and staffing timelines.
The initiative aligns with national health objectives to expand primary care networks and ensure equitable health services. By increasing the number of functional health centres, Haryana hopes to address gaps in preventive care, maternal health, and chronic disease management.
Stakeholders, including local authorities and community groups, have welcomed the move, noting that improved local facilities can reduce travel time for patients and alleviate pressure on tertiary hospitals.
