Visakhapatnam: Visakhapatnam Institute of Medical Sciences (VIMS) will be operational with outpatient services from April 11, said Minister for Health Kamineni Srinivas.

"We missed many deadlines but this deadline will not be missed," he asserted, while speaking to mediapersons here on Tuesday.

Kaminei added that VIMS would serve as a university-cum- super specialty hospital under the ambit of NTR Health University, Vijayawada. "The NTR Health University is currently limited to an examination conducting board but soon VIMS and a research centre would come into the fold of the varsity.

After several discussions, the Ministry came to the conclusion that VIMS would best serve its purpose under the NTR Health University as the latter enjoyed healthy finances," he informed.

"The services at the government hospitals had improved but there is still a lot of scope for development, " Kamineni added. He said that to protect the new born from child lifters, radio frequency identification bracelets would be tied to the infants at all the government hospitals.
