New Delhi: To facilitate fast decision making and smooth functioning at the newly established All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), the Union government decided not to appoint the Union Health Minister on the post of chairman of the Board, a norm that has been followed till now. Instead, the post will be taken up by well-known health professionals.
According to the new policy introduced by the government, the decision has been taken to smoothen the decision-making process of the AIIMS. Presently, the Union Health Minister is the chairman of Delhi AIIMS and six other based in Bhubaneshwar, Bhopal, Rishikesh, Patna, Jodhpur, and Raipur.

Hence, it has now been decided that the upcoming AIIMS hospitals will have senior doctors as chairmen."
