IGIMS was
established on 19th November 1983, as an autonomous
organisation on the pattern of All India Institute of Medical
Sciences, New Delhi. The objective was to provide super
specialty medical facilities in Bihar.
On 27th January 1983 Cabinet approved the completion of this
massive project in 4 phases within a span of six (6) years.
According to the decision of State Government, 130.20 Acres of
land was transferred to IGIMS. It was proposed that the
hospital will be completed by 1990 with a capacity to house
1000 beds. The estimated cost was 110 Crore rupees which was
later revised to 133 crores .
Because of financial stringency only 4669.30 Lakh could be
made available by the State Government.
IGIMS was setup with the
following objectives :
-
To establish an apex centre
for delivery of health and medical care of highest
standard
-
To train specialists of high
order in different branches of medical services
-
To improve the health service
in the State through appropriate linkage and referral
system with Medical Colleges and District and
Sub divisional hospitals.

problems of health of the community with particular
emphasis on reproductive biology and population control.

Statistics of All India Institute
of Medical Science (AIIMS), Delhi and Post Graduate Institute
of Medical Sciences (PGIMS), Chandigarh show the a large
number of patients from Bihar State suffering from Heart
Diseases, Neurological problems, Cancer , Renal Dialysis,
Ophthalmic problems etc go to AIIMS/PGIMS. Getting treatment at
AIIMS/PGIMS puts heavy economical burden on them apart from
the difficulty of traveling to a distant location and puts
excessive loads on those institutions.
Looking into the problem, State Government, in consultation
with experts from various parts of country, decided to setup
an institute of AIIMS standard so that the patients from
Bihar, Sikkim, Nepal, Bhutan etc may get best medicare at the
lowest possible expense. To achieve these objectives the
institute was established and named after the Former Prime
Minister of India, Smt. Indira Gandhi.
