Nadda inaugurates Central Research Laboratory at AIIMS Bhubaneswar

Bhubaneswar, Apr 12 (UNI) Union Health & Family Welfare Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda on Saturday inaugurated the state-of-the-art Central Research Laboratory — a transformative initiative aimed at advancing cutting-edge medical research and fostering innovation at AIIMS Bhubaneswar.
The facility is set to empower doctors, researchers, and scholars to develop impactful healthcare solutions and elevate AIIMS Bhubaneswar into the league of premier medical research hubs in the country.
Nadda also laid the foundation stone for the Multi-utility and Gastronomy Block, a modern infrastructure project designed to meet the evolving needs of students, faculty, staff, and the general public.
The block will offer essential amenities under one roof, enhancing operational efficiency and community engagement within the campus.
Adding to the digital transformation of healthcare services, the Union Minister launched the revamped AIIMS Bhubaneswar website, equipped with user-friendly features and integrated services for patients and visitors. The website also proudly showcases Odisha’s rich cultural heritage while improving access to the institute's healthcare facilities.
As a part of the comprehensive visit, the Union Minister also inaugurated the EHS Clinic and AMRIT Pharmacy, ensuring greater accessibility to essential health services and affordable medicines for all.
Nadda visited the Burn Centre — a one-of-its-kind facility in Eastern India that is making a significant impact in critical care. He also toured the Swachhata Exhibition at the OPD foyer, the Integrated Health & Wellness Clinic, the Rheumatology & Geriatric Clinic, and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Additionally, he planted a sapling at Smruti Upavan, symbolizing a commitment to a greener and healthier future.
Later, the Union Minister chaired a high-level review meeting, assessed ongoing developmental projects, and interacted directly with medical students, sanitary staff, and other employees.
Speaking on the occasion, Executive Director Prof. (Dr.) Ashutosh Biswas said the new research facility will catalyze scientific discovery and translational research, especially in the Eastern region.
“It will open doors to pioneering treatments and improved healthcare outcomes,” Dr. Biswas said.
