AIIMS Mangalagiri has conferred degrees on new graduates and installed advanced testing systems, marking significant progress in healthcare.
AIIMS Mangalagiri has made significant strides in medical education and healthcare services since its inception. The institute began its MBBS course in 2018 with an initial intake of 50 students. Today, it boasts a total of 748 MBBS students, with an annual intake of 125. Recently, AIIMS Mangalagiri conferred degrees on 49 MBBS graduates, five MD/MS postgraduate students, and four Post-Doctoral Certificate Course students, marking a milestone in its educational journey.
In addition to its educational achievements, AIIMS Mangalagiri has also made notable contributions to healthcare services. The hospital has completed a staggering 31 lakh OPD consultations and currently sees a daily footfall of around 3,500 to 4,000 patients. This reflects the growing trust and reliance of the community on the healthcare services provided by the institute.
In a recent development, AIIMS Mangalagiri installed a Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAAT) system, which is the first of its kind among all AIIMS in South India. This advanced system, costing approximately ₹1.73 crore, significantly enhances the hospital’s diagnostic capabilities. It can detect viral RNA/DNA with high sensitivity, enabling early identification of infections such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C.
Ahanthem Singh, a key figure in the hospital’s operations, stated, “The NAAT system enhances safety by significantly reducing the diagnostic window period.” This advancement is expected to improve patient outcomes and streamline the diagnostic process.
Union Minister Anupriya Patel emphasized the government’s commitment to the medical sector, stating, “The Union government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is giving utmost priority to the medical sector.” This reflects a broader initiative to enhance healthcare access and quality across the country.
As AIIMS Mangalagiri continues to grow and evolve, observers anticipate further advancements in both medical education and healthcare services. The integration of cutting-edge technology and a focus on community health needs are likely to define its future trajectory.
