The State/UT-wise status of approved and functional AAM (Ayush) is furnished at Annexure I. Further, as reported by State/UT Governments, the State/UT-wise number of beneficiaries availed the services through AAM (Ayush) from year 2021 to 2025 is furnished at Annexure II .

(b) & (c) Public Health being State Subject, the primary responsibility for establishment of AAM (Ayush)  in  industrial  areas  such  as  Bhiwandi  in  Maharashtra  to  address  the  health

problems of workers and establishing a comprehensive healthcare model lies with respective State Government. As reported by State Government of Maharashtra, one AAM (Ayush) is located at Primary Health Unit (PHU) Village Kunda, Block Bhiwandi, District Thane and co-located  Ayush  Wings  are  also  functional  at  Sub  District  Hospital,  Bhiwandi  &  rural Hospital Ambadiphata Block Bhiwandi, District Thane for addressing the health problems of workers, adjacent to industrial area of Bhiwandi.

It  has  been  observed  by  visiting  teams  that  footfall  of  the  beneficiaries  visiting  to  the AAM (Ayush) has been subsequently increased after upgradation of Ayush Dispensaries/Sub health  centers  into  AAM  (Ayush) because in  addition  to  OPD services, these facilities are also  providing  various  other  services  like  Prakriti  Parikshan,  Yoga  related  activities  at  the level of facility as well as community, awareness about uses of common medicinal plants etc. Further,  State/UT  Governments  have  been  suggested  by  the  visiting  team  for  appropriate training & capacity building of AAM (Ayush) team, strengthening of referral linkages with other public health facilities, effective involvement of field level workers specially ASHAs etc. for better outcome of the activities being conducted through AAM (Ayush).
