Kasaragod to figure in new AIIMS proposal, MP tells collective
The Kerala state government has committed to including Kasaragod in a new proposal to the Union government for the establishment of an AIIMS facility. This decision follows persistent advocacy from a local collective and intervention from the Kerala High Court, which emphasized the need for a scientific feasibility study.
Why it matters
The establishment of an AIIMS in Kasaragod would significantly improve healthcare infrastructure in a region that has historically struggled with medical access, addressing a critical public health gap.
The AIIMS Kasaragod People’s Collective on Saturday said the State government has assured that Kasaragod will be included in a fresh proposal to the Union government for establishing an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Kerala.
