New Delhi: The government has finalised a proposal to name each AIIMS, including the one in Delhi, based on local heroes, independence fighters, significant local historical occurrences or landmarks, or their unique geographic identities.
According to the government sources, the majority of the 23 All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) have provided a list of names after the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare asked for the suggestions regarding the proposals.
An official stated that AIIMS are known by their generic name and are only differentiated by their location. Many AIIMS are currently operational, while others are being established as part of the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY).
In order to offer distinct names to all 23 AIIMS, including those that are completely active, partially operating, or under construction, the Union Health Ministry has created a plan, the official said.
In this regard, the suggestions for giving specific names to various AIIMS were requested. These names could be connected to notable local or regional heroes, freedom fighters, the distinctive geographical identity of the area where the institute is located, and important historical events or monuments of the region, the source stated.
The reports revealed that the majority of these prestigious health institutes have provided three to four names along with a justification for each one.
In Phase 1 of PMSSY, six new AIIMS were approved and are now operational in Bihar (Patna), Chhattisgarh (Raipur), Madhya Pradesh (Bhopal), Odisha (Bhubaneswar), Rajasthan (Jodhpur), and Uttarakhand (Rishikesh).
Out of the 16 AIIMS founded between 2015 and 2022, 10 institutes have begun offering both MBBS programmes and outpatient department services, while the remaining two have just begun offering MBBS classes. The other four institutes are in various phases of growth and development.
