50 new operation theatres, over 3000 beds: AIIMS Delhi proposes redevelopment plan to Govt

Research labs, animal facilities, clinical trial facilities, 4000 hostel units and 14000 parking spaces will be installed through a new project.

Dr Guleria further said, "We have completed our preparatory work of this project and submitted the detail report to the government and recently the project has been notified as a re-development project by the government."

He said that five different land parcels of Masjid Moth, Ansari Nagar West, Ansari Nagar East, and Trauma centre have also been amalgamated under a new category of Medical Education and Research University by the Delhi Development Authority which will give more flexibility to the campus.

"I am hopeful that on the 75th year of independence, AIIMS will enter in a new era of holistic transformation where not only our physical infrastructure but also our digital backbone and assets will be built up to match the best in the world."

Earlier, the Central government decided to organize a 'Chintan Shivir' that will primarily focus on improving the functioning (AIIMS) across the country.

According to the sources, during the upcoming Chintan Shivir that will be held for two days i.e. August 24-25, the experts and stakeholders will discuss standards of teaching, learning, research and service delivery for patients at AIIMS.

The other focus will be on evaluating "patient satisfaction" in AIIMS like developing institutional procedures to make facilities available 'at ease' to the patients, sources told ANI.

The Chintan Shivir will have directors from various AIIMS, colleges in India and will focus on how AIIMS can become a common platform for various clinical research purposes.
