20 AIIMS Forge Pan-India Research Network
30 Jan
Summary
- Twenty AIIMS institutions established a research consortium.
- Focus areas include AI in healthcare and low-cost cancer treatments.
- The consortium aims to improve national health research capacity.
A significant collaboration has been established among twenty All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) institutions across India. This initiative, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on Thursday, creates a pan-India research consortium aimed at enhancing joint biomedical and clinical research. The consortium's primary objective is to foster multicentric research, support shared projects, and facilitate clinical trials.
Key research priorities for this network include advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) for healthcare applications, the development of low-cost cancer treatments, and addressing hospital-related infections and metabolic diseases. Each participating AIIMS will appoint a nodal officer to ensure seamless coordination and knowledge exchange. This collaborative effort is poised to strengthen India's research infrastructure and expedite the translation of scientific discoveries into practical healthcare solutions and evidence-based public health policies.
