Mizoram and Nagaland have resisted the Centre’s decision to rename Ayushman Bharat Health and Wellness Centres as Ayushman Aarogya Mandirs.

Despite the directive, Mizoram and Nagaland continue to use the original “health and wellness centre” nomenclature while awaiting further instructions from the Centre.
