For over 12 weeks, I stayed by my father’s side at AIIMS Delhi, where he was undergoing treatment for a life-threatening ailment. AIIMS Delhi has long symbolised excellence in public healthcare, a place where world-class treatment coexists with affordable access. The absence is not merely academic; it is felt intimately by patients who continue to flock to Delhi because they “trust AIIMS”— meaning AIIMS Delhi. AIIMS Delhi — because of its history and mentorship— retains a stronger internal culture of bedside manners and ethical responsibility. One of the first lessons you get on entering AIIMS Delhi from any of its gates is why it still receives overwhelming patient inflows.
