The facility is designed to empower doctors, researchers, and scholars to develop impactful healthcare solutions.
Union Health Minister JP Nadda has recently inaugurated a state-of-the-art Central Research Laboratory at AIIMS Bhubaneswar during his two-day visit to Odisha.
The facility is designed to empower doctors, researchers, and scholars to develop impactful healthcare solutions.
AIIMS Bhubaneswar Executive Director Prof (Dr) Ashutosh Biswas said, “This new research facility will be a catalyst for scientific discovery and translational research, especially in the Eastern region. It will open doors to pioneering treatments and improved healthcare outcomes.”
During the event, Nadda also laid the foundation stone for a Multi-utility (Gastronomy) Block, a modern infrastructure project aiming to meet the evolving needs of students, faculty, staff, and the general public.
As part of the digital transformation of healthcare services, the Union Minister launched the revamped AIIMS Bhubaneswar website.
The website features user-friendly options and integrated services for patients and visitors.
It also highlights Odisha’s rich cultural heritage while improving access to healthcare facilities.
Additionally, Nadda inaugurated the EHS Clinic and AMRIT Pharmacy, ensuring greater accessibility to essential health services and affordable medicines.
The visit concluded with a high-level review meeting, where the Minister evaluated ongoing development projects and engaged directly with medical students, sanitary workers, and employees.
In a similar development, JP Nadda launched the Inter-AIIMS Referral Portal, a digital platform developed by AIIMS New Delhi to improve healthcare coordination and patient referrals across India’s AIIMS network.
The portal is expected to enhance efficiency, transparency, and the overall patient experience in the country’s public healthcare system.
