Guwahati: The Centre will invest around Rs 1,000 crore to set up a 750-bedded All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Assam, the land for which was handed over by the state government.
"The AIIMS in Assam will be a 750-bedded hospital. We have got the land today from the state government. Now once the Union Cabinet approves the plan, we will start work," Union Health and Family Welfare Additional Secretary Arun Kumar Panda told PTI here.
The AIIMS, to be set up in Kamrup district, will house 18 super-speciality departments, he said.
