All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Deoghar (AIIMS Deoghar) is a public medical school and hospital based in Kalyani, West Bengal, India, and one of the All India Institutes of Medical Sciences. The institute started operation in 2019.
History edit
AIIMS Deoghar was set up as part of the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) initiative, announced by the Government of India in 2003 and officially launched in March 2006, for the purpose of "correcting regional imbalances in the availability of affordable/reliable tertiary healthcare services", through setting up AIIMS Delhi-like institutions and upgrading government medical colleges.[2]
A proposal for setting an AIIMS in Jharkhand was first made by the local government in June 2016.[3] In August, in response to a request by the union government to come up with several alternatives for the location, the local government announced that the preferred location is in Deoghar, although Ranchi was also considered.[4] On 1 February 2017, in the budget presentation for 2017–2018, Minister of Finance Arun Jaitley officially announced the intent to establish an AIIMS in Jharkhand, as well as one in Gujarat.[5] These were later denoted "Phase-VI" of PMSSY.[6] A detailed project report was prepared in July[7] and the site in Deoghar was finalised in December.[8] In April 2018 the local government handed over the 236.92 acres (95.88 ha) of land required for establishing the AIIMS,[9] and finally, in May 2018, the union cabinet approved the AIIMS, with a provision of ₹1,103 crore (US$140 million).[10] The foundation stone was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi later that month.[11] The ₹9.02 billion (US$110 million) contract for building the institute was awarded to NBCC (India) Limited in October.[12]
The institute became operational with the first batch of MBBS students, which started in September 2019.[13]
