The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) will come up in Madurai in two years and the state will meet the five conditions laid down by the central government for its establishment, said health minister C Vijayabaskar here on Friday. He said the work would be initiated on ‘zero-delay’ mode.
The minister inspected the site at Thoppur where the AIIMS is to be established along with his equivalents, R B Udayakumar and Sellur Raju, as well as health secretary Dr J Radhakrishnan, district collector K Veeraraghava Rao and officials of various departments. He said that the AIIMS hospital would be the crowning glory of the already outstanding health sector in the state. Tamil Nadu was the first developed state to get the multi-speciality hospital as AIIMS hospitals had been established in backward states like Bihar, he said. He added that the World Bank had sanctioned Rs 2,685 crore for healthcare development in the state. The superspeciality hospitals in Madurai, Tirunelveli and Thanjavur were nearing completion.
With the central government in the process of preparing the detailed project report, he said that everything was on course to launch the project immediately. A total of 198.27 acres of land was kept ready to be handed over to the hospital and the approach road connecting the national highway would be laid through the satellite city coming up near it, he said. As the Centre had sought 5MLD of water, the district collector had assured that it would be provided through the Cauvery comprehensive water scheme, he said, adding that he had come to know that the groundwater in the region was also good.
