Chhattisgarh to get its AIIMS in two years

Updated on: Thursday, November 05, 2009

Raipur: Chhattisgarh will get its own All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in the next two years. The premier institute, which will come up here in the state capital, will cost Rs 329 crore, official sources said today.

A medical college, a hostel and a 960-bed hospital with super speciality facilities have been planned under the two-phase project, they said.  In 2007, the Centre had proposed to set up AIIMS-like institutions in Patna, Raipur, Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Jodhpur and Rishikesh under the Pradhan Mantri Swastha Sureksha Yojna (PMSSY) within four years.

Once completed, AIIMS-Raipur will be the state's biggest government-run medical institute, where services would be provided to patients at concessional rates, the sources said.
