New Delhi, December 18: Making clear that the government has no plan to privatize nation’s premiere institution All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Union Health Minister GhulamNabi Azad informed the Parliament Friday.
Replying to a question in the Lok Sabha, Azad said: “There is no question of privatisation of AIIMS as it is the only premier institute that caters to poor people.”
Apprehensions of AIIMS’ privatisation were raised after the S. Valiathan Committee recommended that recruitment to Class C and D level posts in the institute should be done through reputed professional agencies.
The committee was set up to look for better management and functioning processes for the top medical institute of the country.
