6 out of 22 AIIMS sanctioned under PMSSY Fully Functional: Health Minister
New Delhi: Out of the 22 new AIIMS approved Under Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY), 6 institutes at Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur, and Rishikesh are functional and all key hospital facilities and services such as Emergency, Trauma, Blood Bank, ICU, Diagnostic and Pathology are functioning. Dedicated hospital blocks for the treatment of CoVID-19 patients and CoVID test labs are functional in these AIIMS since 2020. The information to this effect was tabled in Rajya Sabha by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Mr. Ashwini Kumar Choubey.
The Minister was responding to a series of pointed queries regarding the status of the new AIIMS approved under PMSSY.
In his written statement, the Minister informed that at another Seven (07) AIIMS at Raebareli, Gorakhpur, Mangalagiri, Nagpur, Bathinda, Bibinagar, and Kalyani, MBBS classes and OPD services have been started. In five (05) other AIIMS at Deoghar, Bilaspur, Guwahati, Rajkot, and Jammu MBBS classes have been started. Rest four (04) AIIMS are at different stages of construction and allied activities.
Furthermore, the minister also briefed the house about the details of the apex tertiary care departments sanctioned and such departments, which are actually functioning in each of the fully functional AIIMS.
Blaming the non-availability of faculty as the main reason for which some of the Specialities / Super Specialities remain non-functional, the minister added that the incumbency position at various AIIMS is monitored regularly and vacancies are advertised from time to time depending on their requirement.
"However, as high standards have to be maintained in the selection, keeping in view the stature of these Institutes of National Importance, all the advertised positions could not be filled up," added the written reply.
