Kerala AIIMS Proposal Pending as Centre Cites Prioritization and Budget Constraints
Kerala's request for an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has been pending since 2016, with the Centre citing better healthcare infrastructure in the state and budgetary constraints under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) as reasons for delay. Kerala officials allege political bias and inconsistent explanations from the Centre. The Kerala High Court has questioned the prioritization criteria and urged the government to make a timely decision, noting the state's high population density and healthcare needs.
