There are 37 departments, numerous specialised blocks, and a capacity of 1,639 beds, with an average daily outpatient attendance of 3,500. NIMS has become a centre of excellence in joint replacement, rare disease management, and medical genetics and serves as a nodal centre for over 30 peripheral dialysis centres.
In 2023, NIMS treated a record number of patients, with notable increases in OPD visits, inpatient admissions, and surgeries, including 190 transplant surgeries. The hospital’s revenue rose 29.8%, generating Rs. 338.94 crore.
In March 2024, under the present government’s significant grants, NIMS inaugurated new facilities, including an Interventional Radiology DSA and IGT facility, a Cardiothoracic ICU, and a Tech-Enabled Simulation Centre for Critical Care. These advancements reflect substantial enhancements in patient care services.
