Inauguration of AIIMS Vijaypur: Enhancing Healthcare in Jammu
Prime Minister Modi will kick off the inauguration spree by dedicating AIIMS Vijaypur in Jammu on February 20th. Established at a cost exceeding Rs. 1660 crore, AIIMS Vijaypur boasts state-of-the-art infrastructure spread over 227 acres.
With facilities such as 720 beds, a medical College, a Nursing College, an AYUSH Block, and advanced medical equipment, the hospital is primed to deliver specialized care across various disciplines, including Cardiology, Neurology, Oncology, and Endocrinology.

Foundation Stones for New Medical Colleges and Health Facilities
In addition to inaugurating AIIMS hospitals, Prime Minister Modi will lay the foundation stones for several new medical colleges and advanced healthcare facilities, including Critical Care Blocks and Integrated Public Health Labs under the PM-ABHIM initiative.
