A government initiative aimed at strengthening primary healthcare centers in Karnataka:

Ayushman Bharat - Health and Wellness Centres
Jan Aushadhi Kendra
Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana
National Rural Health Mission

The correct answer is: A) Ayushman Bharat – Health and Wellness Centres

Ayushman Bharat – Health and Wellness Centres (AB-HWCs) are a government initiative aimed at strengthening primary healthcare centers in India. The centers provide a range of preventive, curative, and promotive health services to the community. They are staffed by a team of doctors, nurses, and other health workers.

The centers are located in rural and urban areas, and are easily accessible to the community. They are open from 9 am to 5 pm, seven days a week.

The services provided by AB-HWCs include:

  • General check-up
  • Treatment of minor ailments
  • Referral to higher-level hospitals
  • Family planning counseling
  • Immunization
  • Nutrition counseling
  • Health education

The centers also provide free medicines and diagnostic services.

The AB-HWCs are a major step towards providing affordable and accessible healthcare to the people of India. They have been well-received by the community, and have made a significant impact on the health of the people.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • Jan Aushadhi Kendra are government-run stores that sell affordable generic medicines.
  • Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana is a scheme that aims to promote the use of generic medicines.
  • National Rural Health Mission is a government initiative aimed at improving the health of people living in rural areas.
