Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Rewari on Friday and said that this initiative is in line with the government’s commitment to prioritise the public health infrastructure and strengthen citizen-centric health services through holistic development of the health sector.
“AIIMS-Rewari will not only cater to the healthcare needs of Haryana but will also create jobs for the youth and provide them with opportunities to pursue medical education,’’ he said, adding that the last 10 years have witnessed the approval of 15 new AIIMS and more than 300 new medical colleges, including one medical college in each district of Haryana.
In a release issued by the Health Ministry, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said that this new AIIMS will immensely benefit the people of Haryana as well as of neighbouring States by ensuring access to great quality and affordable healthcare.
