AIIMS Madurai

Established in 2019, AIIMS Madurai is one of the newest additions to India's network of premier autonomous medical institutes under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. It operates from a temporary campus at the Government Rajaji Hospital in Madurai, a major tertiary care center, providing immediate clinical immersion for its students. The institute currently offers the flagship MBBS program, with plans to expand into postgraduate and super-specialty courses. Its academic model integrates the foundational AIIMS curriculum with the high patient volume and diverse pathology of a long-established government hospital. The permanent campus is under construction in Thoppur, designed to be a 750-bedded facility with a built-up area of nearly 2.5 lakh square meters. This future site will feature a dedicated medical college complex, nursing college, residential blocks, and extensive research laboratories, aiming to serve as a comprehensive healthcare hub for southern Tamil Nadu.
