ROHTAK: Union Health and Family Welfare Minister, Gulam Nabi Azad today announced that National Cancer Institute (NCI) and National Cardio Care Centre (NCCC) would be set up at the second campus of All India Institute of Medical Sciences(AIIMS) at Badsa in Jhajjar district of Haryana.

Accompanied by Haryana Chief Minister, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, the union minister also inaugurated the Outreach OPD of the AIIMS-2 at Badsa village, 47 km from the AIIMS- Delhi on Gurgaon-Badli Road in Haryana.

Azad also announced that AIIMS-2 would be developed as a world class institution and Expression of Interest has already been invited for drafting its master plan through international bidding.

AIIMS-2 Campus is being setup over an area of 300 acres, which has been provided free of cost by the Haryana Government. A committee headed by Union Health Secretary would finalize the selection of master plan for the institute.

The union minister also launched the free medicine facility at AIIMS-2, as per which generic medicines would be provided free of cost to all the patients getting treatment at the OOPD.

Addressing the people on the occasion, he said that the AIIMS OPD would serve as alternate OPD of the Delhi AIIMS and it would not only serve the state of Haryana, but also the whole country. "The waiting period of OPD at Delhi AIIMS will decrease considerably after AIIMS-2 starts functioning. This is the first OPD where free medicines would be provided. The Outreach OPD comprises of the departments of General Medicine, Orthopaedics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Paediatrics, Ophthalmology, ENT, Anasthesia and General Surgery. It will also have diagnostic and laboratory facilities", he added.

Azad said that as the heart and cancer diseases were increasing in modern day lifestyle, need was felt for national level institutes. "With 600 beds, the NCI will be biggest Cancer Institute in the country and bigger than even the Tata Cancer Institute, Mumbai. It will be a comprehensive cancer centre having all the facilities to deal with various types of cancers including research and development", he stated.

The National Cardiac Care Centre is also proposed to be established at the same campus. The AIIMA has plans to establish several super-specialty and world-class research facilities at Badsa.

The union minister said that due to high number of patients visiting the Delhi AIIMS, the infrastructure is bursting at the seams with most departments handling workload in excess of their designed capacity. The Outreach OPD at Badsa, Jhajjar has been conceived and designed to handle approximately 1,000 patients per day.

On this occasion, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda announced that Badsa would be connected through four-lane road to New Delhi and Gurgaon-Badli road would be four-laned with an investment of about Rs 250 crore. The Kundli-Manesar-Palwal expressway is also near the AIIMS-2, he added.

Rohtak MP Deepender Singh Hooda said AIIMS-2 would accelerate the pace of development in the whole area.
