Bathinda, December 16 – Union food processing industries minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal today announced that the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bathinda would be opened to the public on December 23 with nine of the twelve Out Patients Departments (OPDs) beginning their operations.
Disclosing this here, the Union minister said recruitment of Specialist doctors had been completed for nine departments and the same would get operationalized on December 23 with union health minister Dr Harashwardhan conducting the soft launch of the institute. She said the institute would be in line for formal inauguration with all OPDs and In Patient Departments becoming operational by June 20, 2020. She said Prime Minister Narendra Modi was likely to inaugurate the institute in June next year.
Mrs Badal also asked the State government to do its bit to ensure the smooth opening of the prestigious institute. She said though AIIMS, Bathinda was a hundred percent centrally funded project, the State was responsible for making arrangements on the ground like suitable approach roads as well as arrangements like bus stop and shelters. She said it was unfortunate that these arrangements had not been made till yet even though AIIMS was in the final stages of completion. She said she would ask the State government to hurry up but if it continued being a laggard she would allocate funds from her MPLAD to ensure these facilities came up at the earliest.
The Bathinda mp also put on record her gratitude to PM Narendra Modi and health minister Dr Harshvardhan for the timely completion of the institute despite hurdles put in the way by the Congress government which dragged its feet in granting statutory clearances. She said with the start of AIIMS, Bathinda super specialty treatment would be available here and people would not have to travel to PGI, Chandigarh and other places. “This is a major boon for Punjabis, particularly the people of the Malwa belt”, she added.
