AIIMS AND OBJECTIVES

AIIMS DELHI HAS LONG BEEN IN THE VANGUARD OF MEDICAL RESEARCH IN INDIA. IN A POST-COVID WORLD, THAT ROLE IS NOW MUCH MORE PRONOUNCED

- Sonali Acharjee

For 67 years, AIIMS Delhi has been at the forefront of India’s medical advancement journey. Now, in a post-Covid world where the importance of proactive medical research and efficient public health systems has been thrown into sharp focus, the institute’s role has become even more pronounced. AIIMS Delhi has launched a series of partial travel grants and fellowships for its residents to enable them to present their research to an international audience. The competitive grant is funded through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes of various companies. The institute has also collaborated with the University College London and IIT Delhi for research, and has set up a centralised core facility on campus for additional support to researchers.
