New AIIMS hospitals and super-specialty medical institutions that have been established in the country

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi, established as a premier super-specialty tertiary care center, has played a pivotal role in India’s healthcare landscape since its inception. It focuses on providing advanced medical care, research, and specialized training.

In response to the growing healthcare needs due to India’s surging population, the government, particularly under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration, has initiated the establishment of several AIIMS-like institutions across the country. These new hospitals aim to enhance access to specialized medical services, alleviate the burden on existing facilities, and improve overall healthcare quality.

As of now, more than a dozen AIIMS and similar medical institutes have been developed throughout India, each designed to cater to specific regional healthcare demands. These institutions are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by skilled professionals, ensuring that patients receive high-quality treatment. The expansion of these facilities underscores the government’s commitment to strengthening the healthcare system and addressing the challenges posed by a growing population and increasing health issues.
