He said getting a prestigious institute like AIIMS was a big achievement for which the people of the state were thankful to Prime Minister, who has already laid the foundation stone of the institute in Bilaspur district.
The Minister said AIIMS would prove to be a boon for quality health services within the state as people of the state so far have to visit PGIMER, Chandigarh or even New Delhi for serious diseases.
Parmar said the 750-bed AIIMS will have a medical college with an intake capacity of 100 seats and a nursing college with 60 seats. The AIIMS will have speciality and super speciality departments including trauma centres. There would also be an AYUSH department for treatment in traditional system of medicine. He added that efforts would be made to complete the construction work of AIIMS in 30 months.
He said the state government would accord priority for strengthening the health institutes by expanding the health infrastructure and filling up vacant posts of doctors. The state government has already taken a decision to fill up 100 posts of doctors, he said.
