Overview

AIIMS Delhi set for overhaul, expand services across NCR

In a move set to transform India’s premier healthcare institution, the NITI Aayog is likely to recommend a comprehensive revamp of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi, including a strategic expansion of its clinical services across the National Capital Region (NCR).

According to Economic Times, the move is aimed at reducing the load on existing infrastructure and freeing doctors for medical research, said a senior government official.

This restructuring is expected to significantly reduce long waiting times and improve patient flow for non-critical treatments. Currently, AIIMS Delhi’s outpatient department (OPD) manages an overwhelming 7,200 patients per day, while its emergency section treats approximately 400–500 cases daily, putting immense strain on resources and staff.

According to the news reports, a committee headed by NITI Aayog member Dr. VK Paul is currently reviewing the existing systems at AIIMS and is expected to soon draft a comprehensive reform plan. The blueprint will outline specific timelines and actionable steps to elevate the institute’s healthcare services to international standards.
