A parliamentary committee report highlights a severe staff shortage at AIIMS, with over 2,500 vacancies across faculty and medical staff, severely impacting patient care. The report urges the health ministry to expedite recruitment by offering competitive compensation packages and streamlining the hiring process. Additionally, AIIMS’ ambitious master plan faces delays due to land acquisition and budgetary constraints, with concerns over underutilization of allocated funds. Host Anirban Chowdhury and Teena Thacker of ET are joined by a senior doctor and official at AIIMS to tell a story of delays, inadequacy, misuse of power and neglect.
