AIIMS Bibinagar opens

The first batch of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bibinagar, was inaugurated on Tuesday. 

Comprising 50 students from across India, the first batch of AIIMS, Bibinagar, was launched in a low-key affair by the Director of AIIMS, Bhopal, Dr Sarman Singh.

AIIMS, Bhopal, which is the mentoring institution of AIIMS, Bibinagar, will handle the new institution’s administration, academic and day-to-day activities, hostels, mess facilities, further expansion



and introduction of clinical services. The commencement of academic activities is quite significant because of the speed at which State and Centre-level authorities brought the project to fruition. 

On an average, it takes at least five years and sometimes even more to develop the infra needed to start a teaching hospital of the scale and stature of AIIMS. The in-principle approval to set up AIIMS in Telangana was received in 2018.
