A target of 400 super-specialty Departments under approved projects for upgradation of Government Medical Colleges has been indicated in the Output Outcome Monitoring Framework (OOMF) for Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana for the year 2021-22.

In new AIIMS, recruitment to various positions is done on need basis keeping in view the range of additional services and facilities added. The incumbency position at various AIIMS is monitored and vacancies are advertised based on requirement.
