AIIMS Mangalagiri has reached a significant milestone, conferring degrees on 49 MBBS graduates, alongside five MD/MS postgraduate students and four Post-Doctoral Certificate Course students. This achievement underscores the institution’s rapid growth since its inception.
The MBBS program at AIIMS Mangalagiri began in 2018 with an initial intake of just 50 students. Today, the institution boasts a total of 748 students, with an annual intake of 125 students, reflecting its expanding role in medical education.
In addition to its educational achievements, AIIMS Mangalagiri has completed an impressive 31 lakh outpatient department (OPD) consultations. The hospital currently sees a daily footfall of around 3,500 to 4,000 patients, highlighting its importance in the region.
To further enhance its healthcare services, AIIMS Mangalagiri has installed a Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAAT) system, a first among all AIIMS in South India. This advanced system, costing approximately ₹1.73 crore, significantly improves the detection of viral infections such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C.
