New Delhi: The All India Institute of Medical Sciences is all set to revise beneficiaries under its four month old poor-patient-centric program. The institutes authorities have now called out for ideas that can help increase the visibility of the program, tie-ups from different platforms and Corporate Social Responsibility initiative aid from outside.
Though the program is being run from the institutes side to aid poor patients since months, it is lacking some of the basic efforts that government led programs and initiatives possess which aid them as well as patients. The donations achieved under the scheme are less than what was expected and it also lacks advertising and tax benefits.
Dr. Deepak Agrawal, head of hospital’s IT department stated to the Indian Express that the program is a very transparent. "We are open to any idea that will help increase visibility", said Dr. Agrawal. A way ahead would be to tie-up with different platforms to increase visibility. However, for AIIMS will require to issue tenders for that and it could be a long drawn out process. The corporate social responsibility (CSR) avenue would be great if companies approached us.
