Health Ministry failure to complete 6 AIIMS projects Shocking: Parliamentary Panel
Advertisement
It was astounded to note that the Ministry failed to provide an adequate number of beds for patients which is a basic requirement for proper service delivery and quality of patient care.
New Delhi: The Public Accounts Committee of Parliament has noted with dismay that the approval for establishment of the six new All India Institute of Medical Sciences at Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur and Rishikesh was granted by the government in March 2006 for completion by March 2009 but none of the works, except those relating to residential complexes, had commenced within the period.
It was aghast to note that the Health and Family Welfare Ministry had miserably failed to ensure completion of projects within 18 months from the commencement of work.
The Committee was perturbed to note that state Project Monitoring Committees, formed to monitor the progress of the new AIIMS, had not been constituted for the two new AIIMS at Raipur and Rishikesh. The stipulated meetings were not held in the rest of the four AIIMS.
