Steps are being taken to ensure that all Janakeeya Arogya Kendras (JAKs) in Keralam have their own buildings, Health Minister K. Muraleedharan has said.

He was inaugurating the construction of 16 JAKs and one urban health centre in the district at Peringamala family health centre in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday (October 7, 2026). This is a project which has been included in the 100-day action plan of the Keralam government.
