This partnership aims to leverage the expertise of both institutions to develop innovative solutions for healthcare challenges. Furthermore, AIIMS Jammu is actively participating in multiple multicentric trials, both at national and global levels, funded by reputed agencies such as the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).”
