Those Residents who wish to donate to the PM CARES fund should inform the Academic Section, in writing, by April 20," said AIIMS Registrar.
The administration further said that there is no shortage of funds at AIIMS New Delhi for procurement of Personal Protection Equipment (PPEs) and "therefore no donation shall be accepted from Resident Doctors for local use at AIIMS New Delhi."
