With the prime objective to offer premier healthcare services in as many states as possible, this time the premise for new AIIMS centre will be Nagpur in Maharashtra, Manglagiri in Andhra Pradesh and Kalyani in West Bengal.

The new AIIMS would be set up under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY), which involves financial implications of Rs.4,949 crore.

While the new AIIMS at Manglagiri will cost Rs. 1,618 crore, that at Nagpur will cost Rs.1,577 crore and at Kalyani Rs. 1,754 crore.
