Do You Have Plans To Set Up An AIIMS-Like Institute In Prayagraj?: High Court Asks Union Health Ministry

Live Law  

The Allahabad High Court has asked the Union Health Ministry if the Central Government plans to establish a premier healthcare institution similar to the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences in Prayagraj. The counsel for the petitioners also submitted that key institutions in Prayagraj include Allahabad University, the Central Administrative Tribunal, the National Company Law Tribunal, the Debts Recovery Tribunal, the Auditor General of Uttar Pradesh, the Principal Controller of Defence Account, Moti Lal Nehru Institute of Technology, the Indian Institute of Information Technology, and the Harish Chandra Research Institute. The petitioners also submitted that Prayagraj meets most of the criteria outlined in the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana, which aims to address regional imbalances in tertiary healthcare and enhance medical education facilities. Given these factors, they argued that the Central Government should establish an AIIMS-like institute in Prayagraj to provide specialized tertiary medical services per the policy.
