AIIMS Mangalagiri has made significant strides in medical education and healthcare delivery since its inception. The institute, which began its MBBS course in 2018 with an initial intake of 50 students, now boasts a total of 748 MBBS students, with an annual intake of 125 students. Recently, AIIMS Mangalagiri conferred degrees on 49 MBBS graduates, five MD/MS postgraduate students, and four Post-Doctoral Certificate Course students, highlighting its commitment to producing qualified medical professionals.

In addition to its educational achievements, AIIMS Mangalagiri has completed a remarkable 31 lakh outpatient department (OPD) consultations, with a current daily patient footfall of around 3,500 to 4,000 patients. This high volume of consultations underscores the institution’s role in addressing the healthcare needs of the community.

To further enhance its healthcare services, AIIMS Mangalagiri has installed a Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAAT) system, which is the first of its kind among all AIIMS in South India. The NAAT system, which cost approximately ₹1.73 crore, is capable of detecting viral RNA/DNA with high sensitivity, enabling early identification of infections such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C.

Ahanthem Singh, a representative of the institution, stated, “The NAAT system enhances safety by significantly reducing the diagnostic window period,” emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis in patient care. This development aligns with the government’s ongoing efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure and services.

Anupriya Patel, a key figure in the health sector, remarked, “The Union government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is giving utmost priority to the medical sector.” This statement reflects the government’s commitment to enhancing healthcare services across the country.

As AIIMS Mangalagiri continues to evolve, observers anticipate further advancements in both medical education and patient care. The integration of advanced diagnostic technologies and the successful graduation of medical students are seen as positive indicators of the institution’s future impact on the healthcare landscape.

The Kerala government has reportedly submitted multiple proposals over the years for establishing an AIIMS. Despite these efforts, the proposal for establishing AIIMS in Kerala has not been approved by the Union government, as confirmed by Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Prataprao Jadhav.

In 2025, the Kerala government identified land in Kinalur, Kozhikode for the proposed AIIMS project. However, the Centre has not provided a timeline for the approval of this proposal, leaving many questions unanswered.

The absence of an AIIMS in Kerala has become a political issue ahead of the state Assembly elections, with local leaders emphasizing the need for improved healthcare facilities in the state. The demand for an AIIMS is closely linked to the state’s healthcare needs, which have been a growing concern among residents.

In 2016, several potential locations for AIIMS in Kerala were identified and proposed, but progress has been slow. In 2019, the Union Health Ministry sought ‘in-principle’ approval from the Finance Ministry for establishing an AIIMS in the state, yet no further developments have been reported.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the reasons for the delay in approval of the AIIMS proposal. Observers note that the lack of clarity on the timeline for approval or implementation continues to be a point of contention among local leaders and citizens alike.

The situation remains fluid, and stakeholders are awaiting further communication from the Union government regarding the future of the AIIMS project in Kerala.

In Delhi, CM Rekha Gupta announced a project aimed at facilitating signal-free travel from Mayur Vihar to AIIMS in South Delhi. This initiative is part of the Barapullah Phase-III project, which will provide direct connectivity to the hospital.

Rekha Gupta highlighted the importance of these initiatives, stating, “These initiatives are important steps toward building a ‘Viksit Delhi’ and will also contribute to realising the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”

She further noted that the current government is moving ahead with the project with clear financial planning and accountability. This reflects a commitment to enhancing infrastructure and healthcare access in the capital.

As these developments unfold, the focus remains on improving healthcare services across various regions, with stakeholders advocating for more AIIMS facilities to meet the growing demands of the population.
