About All India Institution of Medical Science

The idea of AIIMS arose in 1946, after a recommendation by the Health Survey of the Government of India.

Originally proposed by the then Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru for establishment in Calcutta, it was established in New Delhi following the refusal of Chief Minister of West Bengal Bidhan Chandra Roy

. The foundation stone of AIIMS Delhi was laid in 1952. On February 18, 1956, the then Minister of Health, Rajkumari Amrit Kaur, introduced a new bill in the Lok Sabha, that would eventually become the AIIMS Act. “It has been one of my cherished dreams that for postgraduate study and for the maintenance of high standards of medical education in our country, we should have an institute of this nature which would enable our young men and women to have their post-graduate education in their own country,” she said.

The old and new main OPD blocks at AIIMS, New Delhi are named after her. When the bill was adopted in May 1956, it became the All India Institute of Medical Sciences Act, 1956. She also gave her land about 100 acres for construction.

In 1940, Martin Melvin Cruickshank of the Indian Medical Service (IMS) was appointed Medical Superintendent of Irwin Hospital and Chief Medical Officer of New Delhi. He was appointed specifically to establish a medical college complex near Ramlila Maidan. But before his plans could come to fruition, the Second World War started in 1939 and the plan of a new medical college had to be dropped.

During the Second World War, some barracks were rapidly constructed near Safdarjung’s tomb to establish a medical center for American troops fighting in this region. That hospital was well equipped, with an x-ray machine, a laboratory, and other facilities for various emergency procedures. After the Second World War was over, America handed over the hospital to the Indian government. It is now known as Safdarjung Hospital. Later a medical college was started there by the Central Government Health Scheme of the Health Ministry.

MAMC made a very humble beginning in 1958 at the erstwhile Irwin hospital (now the Lok Nayak Hospital). The foundation stone for the new buildings of the college was laid in October 1959 by Govind Ballabh Pant. At the 30 acre land of the old Central Jail which was not in use.
