* The Prime Minister of India inaugurated this state-of-the-art facility on May 17, 1998. Some of the finest and most dedicated doctors in the world have been attracted to AIMS because of its philosophy of service and spirit of compassion; they work for a fraction of the salary that they command elsewhere. AIMS have formed a collaborative relationship with Children's Hospital (Harvard Medical School) in Boston.
