Following is a PIB on this.
Lok Sabha
AIIMS like institutions are to be set up at six places in different parts of the country. For the construction of medical college and hospital complex, the Design Detailed Project Report (DPR) consultants have been selected for all the six sites. DPR would be available by May-June, 2008.
In so far as construction of housing complex is concerned, the bid process for selecting the turnkey developer was carried out for all sites. However, only 2 bids were received, of which one was found responsive. The work has been awarded to developer (M/s. Rajasthan State Road Development Corporation) for Jodhpur. The work relating to construction of housing complex at Rishikesh and Patna has been entrusted to HLL and for Bhubaneswar and Raipur to HSCC, on nomination basis. For Bhopal site, housing complex work would be awarded alongside with the hospital-medical college work.
The state-wise progress regarding construction of AIIMS like institutions can be seen at Annexure.
This information was given by the Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss in a reply to a question in the Lok Sabha.

Following is the press release.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik met the Union Health Minister Shri A. Ramdoss today and impressed upon him to start work on the AIIMS Bhubaneswar campus without further delay. The Government of Orissa has already made available land to Government of India for this purpose. The Union Health Minister assured the CM that work would begin latest by January 2008.
Discussion was also held on wide ranging issues in the Health Sector. The Chief Minister requested the Union Health Minister for opening of a Paediatric Centre at Berhampur for treatment of children affected by HIV/ AIDS. He also pursued the request made by the State Government for installation of CD-4 machines in the 3 Medical Colleges at Cuttack, Berhampur and Sambalpur for detection of HIV/ AIDS. The Chief Minister, Orissa requested the Union Health Minister to sanction state-of-the art machines such as Linear Accelerator for the Cancer Hospital at Cuttack. The Union Health Minister assured the CM that all support will be extended for this purpose.
The CM, Orissa pleaded for increase of intake capacity in Dental Surgery (BDS) from 20 to 50. He further suggested opening of MDS course for which necessary posts of doctors have been sanctioned by Government of Orissa. The Union Health Minister promised to consider the proposal favourably.
Discussions were also held for opening new Nursing Colleges in different parts of Orissa in PPP mode. Government of Orissa will take steps to open such colleges shortly.
In related news a Times of India report outlines the progress with respect to the AIIMS clone in Patna. The time line described in that report will most likely also hold for the one in Bhubaneswar.
The bidding for selection of consultant would be opened on October 3, 2007. "The project management committee had approved the expression of interest (EOI) for selection of project management consultants for construction of six AIIMS-like medical college and hospitals in the country," the affidavit stated.
The project management consultants would be selected by December, 2007, and detailed project report would be submitted by April-May, 2008. Civil construction of the hospital and medical college building may be started by early 2008 and completed by 2010. Simultaneously, the manpower requirement for the AIIMS-like institution is being assessed by a separate committee, the affidavit added.

Tenders open in Oct for Rs 1,500 cr AIIMS-like hospitals in six cities
C.H. Unnikrishnan
An ambitious Rs 10,000 crore project, led by the Union ministry of health and family welfare, to set up over a dozen multi-speciality hospitals and medical education institutions across the country, under the so-called National Rural Health Mission, will kick off in the first week of October with the opening of architecture and design tenders for six hospital projects.
The six medical institutions —being modelled on New Delhi-based All India Institute of Medical Sciences—at Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur and Rishikesh costing Rs1,500 crore are expected to be completed in 2009. Other phases of the National Rural Health Mission, including super-speciality hospitals and medical institutions in 11 states, will be finalized soon.
This is the first major government investment for health care infrastructure in the country, even as private players such as Fortis Healthcare Ltd, Max Helathcare Ltd, Hinduja Group, Apollo Hospitals Ltd, and Wockhardt Hospitals Ltd, among others, have earmarked between Rs10,000 crore and Rs15,000 crore for new hospitals and expansion of existing ones.
According to an official at the state-owned Hindustan Latex Ltd’s procurement and consultancy division, which has been appointed a consultant to the first phase of the project, the government has received 14 “expressions of interest for the design and architecture of the six AIIMS-like medical institutions proposed in the project.”
IVRCL Infrastructure & Projects Ltd, RITES Ltd, HSCC India Ltd, Hospitech Management Consultants Pvt. Ltd, Technicalia Consultants Ltd, Kotari Associates Ltd, and Borg Lor Associates Ltd are among those that have bid for architecture contracts.
The proposed institutes will be equipped to handle multiple diseases and disorders with 800 hospital beds along with intensive care units and trauma care centres. They will have medical colleges with annual intake of 100 students and will also offer doctoral courses.
The following phases of the National Rural Health Mission, which include upgradation of seven medical institutions in six other states, and setting up of super-speciality medical institutions and research centres in another five states through the public-private partnership model, are also being finalised. The government is also planning upgradation of about 700 hospitals in rural areas especially in underserved states.
The emphasis on health care infrastructure under the five-year, Rs40,000 crore National Rural Health Mission of the government comes in the wake of strong criticism from non-governmental organizations and national healthcare action groups.
September 19th, 2007
Following are some excerpts from that report. (Thanks to Deba Nayak for the pointer.)
The Union government would soon start construction of the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) near Bhubaneswar from December 2007.
The proposed regional centre of the AIIMS has been postponed for the past four years. Last year, Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) put the Bhubaneswar-AIIMS on fast track by making budgetary allocations under Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY). Official sources said a sum of Rs 330 crore has been so far sanctioned.
Replying to a query put by BJD MP Prasanna Patsani today, the Union health minister, Anbumani Ramadoss, said the construction would begin from December. “He assured me that work on the AIIMS college would begin in April 2008,” Patsani told The Telegraph. … According to an initial estimate, a sum of Rs 280 crore would be spent on the establishment of the Bhubaneswar AIIMS. In the first phase, three departments — cardiology and cardio-thoracic, nephrology and urology and cancer centre — would be set up at an estimated cost of Rs 133 crore.
A two-storied modular building was proposed on the 100-acre site to house four operation theatres, out patient departments, diagnostic block and in patient wards. The diagnostic unit was to be equipped with sophisticated equipment such as CT scan, MRI, X-ray machines, electro-encephalogram and electro-cardiogram.
September 7th, 2007
Following are excerpts from a Business Standard report. (Thanks to Anand Shah for the pointer.)
Even as engineering and construction firms are actively partnering private players in setting up medi-cities and super-speciality hospitals, a key initiative aimed at setting up six AIIMS-like hospitals and upgrading 13 facilities is finding few takers.
The initiative is part of the prestigious Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY), announced in 2005. The projects, with a total outlay of over Rs 3,500 crore, are scheduled to be completed by 2010.
Few developers have responded to the tenders for setting up six hospitals modelled on AIIMS and upgrading 13 medical colleges.
Health ministry officials said the poor response from the private sector for these projects, each worth Rs 50-100 crore, was unfortunate and needed to be seriously analysed.
"The construction boom has thrown open more projects that one can handle. We will have to market our projects well for a good response," said a ministry official.
… The tender inviting private firms to develop housing facilities for the six AIIMS-like institutions has received very few responses, forcing the government to think of floating a second tender. The tender for preparing a detailed project report (DPR), expected to close on September 24, is expected to get a similar response.
Project consultants in the healthcare segment say the government should relax the tender norms. "The archaic norms that keep most well-established players out of the tender process should be kept aside," said a consultant.
… The apathy of turnkey consultancy and construction firms is known to be a direct result of ?hassle-free? business opportunities in the nationwide real estate boom.
The lack of response has been plaguing the project from the very beginning. It took two tenders and more than a year for the ministry to finalise the consultants for the project. The stringent quality parameters, which kept out most potential bidders, are known to be one of the reasons for the poor response.
The project, which envisages AIIMS-like institutes in Bhopal, Bhubhaneswar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur and Rishikesh, received the Planning Commission’s nod in the 10th Plan. The work was to begin in the 10th Plan period itself. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs cleared the project in March 2006.
… Any delay in the execution of the project will raise serious doubts about the government?s capability to add healthcare beds on time.
September 3rd, 2007
Following are excerpts from the current content at http://www.mohfw.nic.in/EoI_FOR_PC.htm.
…
Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW),Government of India, intends to set up AIIMS like Apex Healthcare Institutes one each at Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur and Rishikesh. The institutes are being set up in approximately 100 acre land already made available by State Government.
These apex institutes have been envisaged as Centers of Excellence with 500 bedded hospital, 300 additional Super-specialty and ICU beds, an independent 100 beds for Trauma Care, 30 beds each for PMR and AYUSH Facilities. These Institutes will provide undergraduate and post graduate medical education and medical services in 39 specialty /super-specialty disciplines. The activities of the institutes will focus on providing the highest quality of patient care services, medical education and engage in biomedical research.
HLL has been appointed ‘In-house Consultant’ by MoH&FW for implementing the project. The Project is being envisaged as Hospital and College Complex and Hostel and Residential Complex. Land at Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Jodhpur and Rishikesh are contiguous for the entire project while at Patna and Raipur Residential Complex are being located separately. Site Survey, Sub-Soil Investigation and Zoning plan have been completed for all the sites. Area has also been earmarked and boundary wall have been constructed.

Observations:
- Orissa does not have enough rich families that can afford to send their kids to private medical colleges.
- Thus there is a need for more government medical colleges.
- Among the private medical colleges the order of preference seems to be KIMS followed by IMS followed by Hi-Tech. Its interesting that among these three Hi-Tech is the oldest and the other two only got MCI approval this year. However the other two are either part of or associated with deemed universities.

Dharitri has reported that SCB has got back the 43 seats it had recently lost.
July 7th, 2007
Various news reports initially reported that the MCI (Medical Council of India) has reduced the number of MBBS seats in the SCB Medical College from 150 to 103. (Last year it had increased it from 103 to 150 after it had told Orissa what improvements need to be made and Orissa had agreed to that.) Recent reports mention that the CM of Orissa has written to the health minister in Delhi requesting him to change the MCI’s decision and have 150 seats.
At least the CM/Orissa govt. should come out and say what they were asked to do by MCI (or they had promised to MCI to do) and what they have done since the MCI had initially increased the seats from 103 to 150. This should have been mentioned in the press release related to the CM’s letter.
If Orissa indeed did what it promised to MCI (or what was asked by MCI) then they have a valid reason to complain and there is a point to the CM’s letter. If Orissa did not do what it promised to MCI (or what was asked by MCI) Orissa should first on an emergency basis fulfill those conditions and only then Orissa should request/beg the MCI to allow the extra seats.
July 6th, 2007
The New Indian Express reported that the Minister of State for Health is considering following proposals.
(1) The proposal to set up a Health University is under the active consideration of the State Government. All the medical colleges in the State would be brought under the university for better management."
(2) In Khordha District: The proposal to upgrade the Capital Hospital into a medical college is also under the consideration of the Government.
(3) Appointment of homeopathic and ayurvedic doctors in place of MBBS doctors in vacant posts. More posts of homeopathic and ayurvedic doctors would be created keeping public welfare in mind.
(4) State Government has issued NOCs for establishment of three medical colleges in the private sector.
(i) In Koraput District: Nabadiganta Educational Trust will set up a hospital at Sunabeda. (Note: There was a report in Sambad earlier that one medical college is being established in Koraput district)
(ii) In Kalahandi District: Selvam Educational and Charitable Trust of Tamil Nadu will establish a college at Jaring in Kalahandi district.
(iii) In Balasore District: Shri Jagannath Educational and Health Trust will establish the third college at Balasore.
(iv) In Balangir District: Balaji Educational and Charitable Trust (BECT), Pudducherry, has signed an MoU with the WODC for establishment of a medical college at Balangir. The organisation has been given 25 acres free of cost. Construction of the college will start after BECT signed the lease agreement with the collector.
NOTE: Other private medical colleges in the state that have already received approval or are on drawing boards are:
(1) In Khordha District: Institute of Medical Sciences and Sum Hospital (approval received for MBBS course from 2007-08)
(2) In Khordha District: Kalinga Institute of Medical Science (approval received for MBBS course from 2007-08)
(3) In Cuttack District: Earlier the Oriya daily "The Samaja Group (Lok Sevak Mandal)" has shown interest to establish a medical college cum hospital in Cuttack district.
(4) In Sundergarh District: A private medical college is also proposed by WODC in Rourkela.

Telegraph reports on the progress and the obstacles faced in making Capital Hospital a medical college. Following are some excerpts:
The proposed Rs 100 crore medical college at Capital Hospital in Bhubaneswar could start anytime, but for five more acres of land.
The hospital that currently owns 20 acre of land needs another five acre to fulfil the Medical Council of India (MCI) norms for a medical college set up. As per the MCI the qualifying a criterion for any medical college is to “own a suitable single plot of land measuring not less than 25 acres.â€
“We have earmarked a few locations close by. However, the properties are already encroached and there are likely chances of protests by unauthorised occupants,†said the CMO of Capital Hospital, Loknath Acharya, refusing to reveal the exact location. …
Meanwhile, the location for the academic building has also been decided. “A seven-storied building would be constructed close to the paediatric and regional diagnostic centre,†said Acharya. This would house the major departments and staff chambers. …
Ever since the government decided to set up a medical college at a meeting presided over by the chief minister on April 8, the panel constituting senior bureaucrats led by director of medical education and technology S.C. Mohapatra has sat thrice discussing lacunas in the project.
June 2nd, 2007
The New Indian Express reported that
“Institute of Medical Sciences and Sum Hospital, a sister concern of city-based technical college ITER, has got the nod of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to admit 100 students to its MBBS programme from 2007-08 academic session.”

The running headline of Tathya.in says that the Medical Council of India has approved 100 seats for KIMS (Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences), a component of KIIT deemed university. It does not yet show up in the MCI list of MBBS colleges. More details are awaited.
Assuming this is true, the medical college situation in Bhuabaneswar-CTC-Puri area will be as follows:
