Approve AIIMS Delhi Redevelopment Plan: Parliamentary panel tells Health Ministry

Earlier on 15 August, Dr. Guleria, speaking about the master plan to re-develop AIIMS, had said, "This project will result in the transformation of AIIMS New Delhi into a world-class medical University with the creation of fifty new operation theatres and over 3,000 patient care beds, including 300 emergency beds."

The new project will install research labs, animal facilities, clinical trial facilities, 4,000 hostel units, and 14,000 parking spaces.

The director of the Institute had informed earlier that a detailed project report had been submitted to the government.

According to Dr. Guleria, AIIMS Master Plan Project aims to re-develop our infrastructure in a holistic manner by consolidating patient care teaching research and administration in the East Ansari Nagar campus, outpatient services in the Masjid Moth Campus, and residential facilities in the Trauma Centre Extension Campus.

"Our five different land parcels of Masjid Moth, Ansari Nagar West, Ansari Nagar East, and Trauma centre have also been amalgamated as one land parcel with uniform development controls under a new category of Medical Education and Research University by the Delhi Development Authority, thereby giving us giving a more flexibility to zone our campus appropriately," He had further explained.

However, the committee also appreciated the efforts of AIIMS management and the Ministry for offering the nation one of the best healthcare facilities in the country and neighboring countries.
