History AIIMS New Delhi
Can you provide me some history behind opening of All India Institute of Medical Sciences Delhi (AIIMS) in New Delhi? All India Institute of Medical Sciences Delhi (AIIMS) was established in New Delhi after former Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's initial proposal to set up the institute in Calcutta. It was the vision of Rajkumari Amrit Kaur, the first Health Minister of India, to establish an institute of such nature in India. It is a medical college and medical research public university based in New Delhi, India. The Institute was established in 1956 and operates autonomously under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. It is the first Indian centre to perform a successful cardiac transplant.
