The Centre plans to improve the variety of AIIMS hospitals in India to 25.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate 5 new AIIMS to the nation on February 25. The new AIIMS will be inaugurated in Rajkot, Gujarat, Bhatinda in Punjab, Rae Bareli in UP, Kalyani in West Bengal, and Mangalagiri in Andhra (*20*). The Centre plans to improve the variety of AIIMS hospitals in India to 25. If the federal government’s claims are to be believed, then with already working 8 AIIMS — Delhi, Patna, Raipur, Bhubaneswar, Jodhpur, Rishikesh, Bhopal and Rae Bareli — and the latest inaugurations, a complete of 20 AIIMS will be operational by the tip of this yr.

But the large query is why the crowd of sufferers in AIIMS Delhi remains to be not lowering. Despite Uttar (*20*) (UP) and Bihar having their very own AIIMS, why are many of the sufferers from the 2 states turning up to AIIMS Delhi? The variety of sufferers coming to emergency and OPD in Delhi’s AIIMS day by day is greater than 10000. Out of those, roughly 30 per cent sufferers are from Delhi. The remaining 70 per cent sufferers are from Bihar and UP. This is as a result of many of the new AIIMS that the federal government is opening are dealt with by the medical doctors of AIIMS Delhi. Hence, the medical doctors of Delhi AIIMS are essentially the most reliable. Delhi AIIMS additionally has the utmost variety of beds and amenities. However, they’re insufficient in entrance of the crowd of sufferers.

AIIMS of all different states are going through a scarcity of medical doctors and workers. Many have not even been absolutely operational. At current, the standing of the newly constructed AIIMS within the nation is given under:

  1. AIIMS Nagpur – Rs 1577 crore – OPD and OT operational
  2. AIIMS Gorakhpur – Rs 1011 crore – OPD and OT operational
  3. AIIMS Guwahati – Rs 1123 crore – OPD and OT underway (development underway)
  4. AIIMS Bilaspur – Rs 1471 crore – OPD and OT operational
  5. AIIMS Madurai Rs 1977 crore – work has not began but
  6. AIIMS Mangalagiri – Rs 1618 crore – OPD and OT operational
  7. AIIMS Kalyani – Rs 1754 crore – OPD and OT operational
  8. AIIMS Rajkot – 1195 crore – OPD operational, underneath development
  9. AIIMS Darbhanga – Rs 1264 crore – caught in a land dispute with the state authorities.
  10. AIIMS Vijaypur, Jammu – Rs 1661 crore – development work 95% full
  11. AIIMS Awantipura, Kashmir – Rs 1828 crore – underneath development
  12. AIIMS Deoghar – Rs 1103 crore – OPD and OT operational, development underway
  13. AIIMS Bibinagar 1365 crore – OPD and OT ongoing – 50% work left.
  14. AIIMS Rewari – Rs 1646 crore – tender course of underway
  15. AIIMS Bathinda – 925 crore – OPD and OT operational 

Most of the AIIMS are not absolutely operational. There is a scarcity of machines and manpower in some locations. Recruiting skilled medical doctors and workers is an enormous process for all new AIIMS. And in India, there are not that many certified medical doctors who can work within the authorities system.
