Teleconsultation services are available at all operational AAMs, enabling access to specialist services and addressing concerns related to physical accessibility and shortage of service providers. To date, 38.13 crore teleconsultations have been conducted at AAMs. Furthermore, AAMs promote wellness through activities like Yoga, cycling, and meditation, with 5.79 crore wellness sessions conducted.
