All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, Medical university in New Delhi, India
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences is a teaching hospital and medical school in New Delhi that combines education, research, and patient care on a single campus. The complex contains lecture halls, laboratories, hospital wards, and clinics organized across multiple buildings connected by pathways and green spaces.
The institute opened in 1956 following a parliamentary act designed to train doctors and advance medical research in India. It was the first autonomous medical university in the country under direct oversight of the Ministry of Health.
The campus draws medical students from every Indian state who arrive through a nationwide selection process. The shared dormitories and libraries create a space where future doctors from different regions work side by side and learn from one another.
The campus sits in southern New Delhi and is accessible by public transport; pathways within the grounds are wide and wheelchair-friendly. Visitors should allow time for orientation, as the site is large and different sections have separate entrances.
The institution operates a large emergency ward that treats patients from all over the country around the clock and often admits hundreds within hours. Doctors and nurses work in shifts to handle the constant flow of cases, including many serious emergencies.
