AIIMS: manmohan vs Modi government...


During its ten-year term, the manmohan government announced plans to build an AIIMS (2004-2014). For the construction of a new AIIMS in the Uttar Pradesh city of Rae Bareli, Rs 823 crore was approved in 2012. Rae Bareli's parliamentary constituency is regarded as the congress Party's bastion. This seat has been won for a long time by Feroze Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, and now sonia Gandhi.

The Modi administration took office in 2014. The development of fifteen new AIIMS was approved by the Modi cabinet. Of these, ten AIIMS have begun to offer limited services. About three of the five AIIMS that remain are under construction. On the other hand, two AIIMS's work has not yet begun.

Which state has more AIIMS than any other?

There are now 21 states in india where AIIMS have been completed or are being built. There are just two states with two AIIMS each: Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Each of the other 19 states has one AIIMS.

Is there free treatment at AIIMS?

Some patients from all over the nation receive treatment in AIIMS's general ward, or the costs are quite low. At AIIMS, patients who are below the poverty line (BPL) are given free medical care. Additionally, Ayushman Bharat program participants receive free medical care at AIIMS. Also, all patients receive complimentary consultations. As a result, all of the nation's AIIMS are constantly packed with patients. Patients who wish to pay can also receive their care in a private ward or room during this period. The private wards here are unique in that they are more furnished and more reasonably priced than those at other hospitals. Patients pay less for procedures and medications.
