AIIMS has become the first institute in the state in which this department is present, it has been established with the approval of the Union health ministry and the department of expenditure.
BJP state president Rajiv Bindal during his visit in Shimla on Friday said the department of clinical immunology and rheumatology had recently been established in All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bilaspur.
AIIMS has become the first institute in the state in which this department is present. It has been established with the approval of the Union health ministry and the department of expenditure.
Two new DM courses in neonatology and endocrinology have been started in super speciality. Besides, many MD and MS courses have also been started. All these works have been done in AIIMS, Bilaspur within just one year.
Bindal said BJP national president Jagat Prakash Nadda congratulated AIIMS, Bilaspur, for this success and said that the entire team and faculty of the hospital have done excellent work in such a short time.
There was a time when it took 22 years to build Delhi AIIMS, but in Bilaspur, AIIMS was completed in just 5 years, he said adding, that too, was when its construction work was interrupted for almost two years due to Covid. Whenever there was any need for AIIMS Bilaspur, Nadda worked day and night to fulfill it. No shortage of any kind has been kept in AIIMS, Bilaspur. I am confident that this institution will leave no stone unturned to live up to the trust with which patients come to this health institution for treatment.
