AIIMS To Start Inpatient Dept By July

Nagpur: After shifting from its temporary campus on Government Medical College Hospital (GMCH) premises to a swanky permanent campus in Mihan in July last year, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Nagpur is now all set to become fully functional with day care facility, inpatient department (IPD) and super speciality services.
The IPD services will be launched by July this year, said Maj Gen (Dr) Vibha Dutta, director and CEO of Nagpur AIIMS. Super speciality services will start in the next one-and-a-half year.

Dr Dutta was speaking to TOI after Arun Singhal, special secretary of ministry of health and family welfare, visited AIIMS on Monday and conducted the governing body meeting (GBM).

“Special secretary received a positive feedback from patients and their relatives on the health care services provided. He inspected the newly-constructed minor OTs, wards, and visited clinical departments in the OPD complex. He praised AIIMS, Nagpur, for establishing the entire set-up within a year,” said Dr Dutta.
