AIIMS-like institution in Bhubaneswar: recent links
April 7th, 2007
Earlier in the month there were news items in the Orissa press saying that although the 2007-08 budget has 150 crores for the AIIMS like institutions it will be mostly spent in the upgrades of exisiting medical schools and won’t be spent in the 6 new proposed AIIMS clones.

- The above are found from the page http://www.mohfw.nic.in/tenders.html
- The establishment of these fall under the program “Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Surakshya Jojana“.
- More details in the previous articles on this topic.
