Overview
Andaman and Nicobar Islands Institute of Medical Sciences (ANIIMS) is a medical college located in Port Blair, India. It is a fully government-funded institution established by the Andaman & Nicobar Medical Education and Research Society (ANIMERS) under the Andaman & Nicobar Administration.
The college was set up under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme for the establishment of new medical colleges attached with existing district or referral hospitals, a programme that envisaged the creation of 58 such colleges across the country. ANIIMS forms part of this initiative aimed at expanding medical education and healthcare infrastructure in underserved regions of India.
According to the source, the institution was established in a relatively short period of less than a year. Being a government institution attached to an existing referral hospital in Port Blair, ANIIMS contributes to medical education in the union territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
