| AIIMS has proposed setting up of a National Cardiovascular centre at Jhajjar (Haryana) campus of AIIMS in collaboration with the Haryana government to address the paucity of specialists.
"There is paucity of specialists to treat cardiovascular diseases which has become an epidemic and is a leading cause of death apart from cancer and trauma in the country.
"Also there is a need of research in this sector. So AIIMS has proposed setting up of a National Cardiovascular Centre at Jhajjar (Haryana) campus of AIIMS in collaboration with the Haryana government.
"The proposal was already put up before the Union Health Ministry which is quite positive about it. The cost of the project is estimated to be about Rs. 3,100 crore," Dr Neerja Bhatla, chairperson of media and protocol cell, AIIMS, said.
The proposal was put up by AIIMS Director MC Mishra on Tuesday before Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar during his vist to AIIMS.
Together, they also reviewed the setting up of National Cancer Institute at the Jhajjar campus. It is a collaborative project between AIIMS and the US National Cancer Institute.
During his visit to US, the project was discussed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi also.
"The project costing Rs. 2,035 crore is the largest health care project of independent India and is delayed due to lack of environmental clearance.
