Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday inaugurated the fully functional All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Himachal Pradesh’s Bilaspur.

The AIIMS — whose foundational stone was also laid by the prime minister in October 2017 — has been established under the Central sector scheme Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana.

AIIMS Bilaspur, constructed at a cost of more than Rs 1,470 crore, is a state-of-the-art hospital with 18 specialty and 17 super specialty departments, 18 modular operation theatres and 750 beds with 64 ICU beds.

The news of AIIMS inauguration was confirmed by Mr. Jai Ram Thakur, the Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh.  The statement of Mr. Jai Ram Thakur came during a cultural event organised by the Students’ Central Association of Dr. Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College at Tanda, near Dharamsala.  During the event, Mr. Jai Ram Thakur said for the first time in the history of Himachal Pradesh, 500 new posts of doctors are being filled in one go.

The AIIMS in Bilaspur would be a proud moment for Himachal Pradesh, as it would finally have a dedicated AIIMS Hospital.
