The Cabinet also approved the setting up of two more AIIMS at Manglagiri in Andhra Pradesh and Kalyani in West Bengal. The three AIIMS together will cost the Centre collectively `4,949 crore.
The institute of national importance for which Nagpur had been clamouring for long, will have a hospital with a capacity of 960 beds. It will not only provide quality medical education, nursing education, tertiary healthcare facilities but also have a nursing college. In addition, there will be a teaching block, administrative block, AYUSH block, auditorium, night shelter for those accompanying the patients, hostel and residential accommodation. The three new AIIMS are in addition to six already made functional in various State capitals and one coming up at Rae Bareli.
The three new AIIMS will augment the facilities of quality medical education and would also address the shortfall of health care professionals in these regions.
Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and surface transport and shipping minister Nitin Gadkari had been working for long for the Nagpur AIIMS and an in-principle decision had been taken as well long ago in this regard. But it was only today that the Union Cabinet cleared the setting up of three new AIIMS. Significantly, the other two AIIMS are in Andhra Pradesh ruled by NDA partner TDP and West Bengal ruled by Mamata Banerjee of the TMC. But this is in tune with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's philosophy of cooperative federalism.
He said, "People of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra (Vidarbha) & West Bengal along with adjoining states and region will be beneficiary of this project."
In another tweet he further said, "New AIIMS will be established for providing quality medical education, nursing education and also to provide tertiary healthcare facilities."
The Prime Minister was personally very keen to set up the AIIMS
branches in three states and tweeted extensively today through his
twitter handling account.
