ORIGIN OF AIIMS

The Health Survey and Development Committee, popularly known

as the Bhore Committee, in its report published in 1946,

recommended very strongly the establishment of a national

medical centre at Delhi which will concentrate on training of highly

qualified teachers and research workers in order that a steady stream

of these could be maintained to meet the needs of the rapidly

expanding health activities through out the country. After the

attainment of independence the Union Ministry of Health

proceeded to implement this challenging idea and a munificent

grant of one million pounds by the Government of New Zealand

through the Colombo Plan helped to translate the idea into reality.

An Act of Parliament in 1956 established the All India Institute of

Medical Sciences as an autonomous institution of National

importance and defined its objectives and functions.

The prime concern of the Institute is to develop patterns of

teaching in undergraduate and postgraduate medical

education in all the branches so as to demonstrate a high standard

of medical education to all medical colleges and other allied

institutions in India. This educational experience is to be imparted

in an atmosphere of research.

By virtue of the Act, the Institute grants its own medical degrees

and other academic distinctions. The degrees granted by the

Institute under the All India Institute of Medical Sciences Act are

recognised medical qualifications for the purpose of the Indian

Medical Council Act and, notwithstanding anything contained

therein, are deemed to be included in the First Schedule of that

Act, entitling the holders to the same privileges as those attached

to the equivalent awards from the recognized Universities of India.

The Institute has comprehensive facilities for teaching, research and

patient-care. AIIMS conducts teaching programmes in medical and

para-medical courses both at undergraduate and postgraduate

levels and awards its own degrees. Teaching and research are

conducted in 43 disciplines. In the field of medical research AIIMS is

the leader, having more than 1200 research publications by its

(v) (vi)

faculty and researchers in a year. AIIMS also runs a College of

Nursing,training students for B.Sc.(Hons.) Nursing and B.Sc. Nursing

(Post-Certificate) degrees.

Twenty-Five clinical departments including four superspeciality

centres, manage practically all types of disease conditions with

support from pre-clinical and para-clinical departments. AIIMS also

runs a 60 bedded hospital for Comprehensive Rural Health Centre

at Ballabgarh in Haryana and provides health cover to about 4.5

lakh population through the Centre for Community Medicine.

All India Institute of Medical Sciences was established under an

Act of Parliament in 1956 as a Central Government autonomous

institution of National importance. This is fully fmanced by the

Cental Government of India under the aegis of the Ministry of

Health & Family Welfare. All Central Government rules with regard

to service matters are applicable at the AIIMS mutatis mutandis.
