AIIMS Mangalagiri Celebrates Graduation and Expands Healthcare Services
AIIMS Mangalagiri has made significant strides in medical education and healthcare services since its inception. The institution, which began its MBBS course in 2018 with an initial intake of 50 students, now proudly hosts 748 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 momentous occasion for the institution and its community.
The hospital has also been a beacon of healthcare, having completed a remarkable 31 lakh outpatient department (OPD) consultations. Currently, it serves around 3,500 to 4,000 patients daily, reflecting its vital role in the region’s healthcare landscape.
In a recent development, AIIMS Mangalagiri installed a state-of-the-art Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAAT) system, the first of its kind among all AIIMS in South India. This advanced system, which cost approximately ₹1.73 crore, significantly enhances the hospital’s ability to detect viral RNA/DNA with high sensitivity, enabling early identification of infections such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C.
Ahanthem Singh, a representative of the institution, highlighted the importance of this new system, stating, “The NAAT system enhances safety by significantly reducing the diagnostic window period.” This advancement is expected to improve patient outcomes and bolster the hospital’s reputation as a leading healthcare provider.
Union Minister Anupriya Patel emphasized the government’s commitment to the medical sector, saying, “The Union government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is giving utmost priority to the medical sector.” This statement underscores the ongoing efforts to enhance healthcare services across the country.
As AIIMS Mangalagiri continues to grow and evolve, the community can anticipate further advancements in medical education and healthcare services. Observers are optimistic that these developments will not only benefit the local population but also set a benchmark for healthcare institutions across the region.
