As passionate advocates for superior medical education and healthcare in our community, we have felt the pressing need for an All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) campus in Dharwad. The importance of such a medical institution becomes clearer each day as we navigate through these trying times of the pandemic.

AIIMS has been a beacon of medical excellence across India, boasting a total of 15 operational institutes nationwide, as of 2020. The establishment of yet another AIIMS institution in Dharwad would significantly contribute towards a more robust and accessible healthcare infrastructure. It would also bring about advancements in biomedical research and advancements in medical practices.

Securing a local AIIMS campus would provide innumerable benefits to Dharwad and the surrounding communities. It would create opportunities for local residents to pursue careers in healthcare, thereby substantially alleviating unemployment issues over time. Moreover, the influx of medical staff and students would have a trickle-down effect, positively impacting local businesses and the economy.

We're confident that such an upgrade in healthcare infrastructure would greatly enhance the quality of life for the residents of Dharwad and pave the way for a healthier, brighter future. We urge the concerned authorities to look into this matter and consider establishing an AIIMS Campus in Dharwad. Please sign this petition and join us in this endeavor to create essential change for our community.
