Following positive feedback from Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Kerala to submit report soon
After losing an opportunity to set up an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Kerala seven years ago, the State government has once again set the ball rolling for establishing the premier medical institute on the unused 150 acres of land at Kinalur Industrial Estate, near Balussery, in Kozhikode district. The proposed AIIMS, which would benefit the people of six districts in north Kerala, has been on the back burner for long. The first Narendra Modi Ministry announced to establish AIIMS-like institutes in 10 States in 2014. Now the State government has secured a positive feedback on the project from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The new Union Health Minister, Mansukh L. Mandaviya, has agreed to the proposal if suitable land was made available for the purpose.More Related News
