AIIMS Jammu Inaugurates 20 State‑of‑the‑Art Operation Theatres

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Jammu has officially opened twenty new operation theatres equipped with the latest surgical technology. The facilities are designed to support a wide range of procedures, from routine surgeries to complex interventions, and are expected to reduce waiting times for patients across the region. Health officials said the addition will strengthen the institute’s role as a tertiary care hub for northern India. The inauguration was attended by senior medical administrators who highlighted the project's alignment with the government's push to upgrade healthcare infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir. With these theatres now functional, AIIMS Jammu aims to increase its annual surgical volume and improve outcomes for both local residents and patients referred from neighboring states.
