AIIMS Patna Empaneled Under ECHS to Provide Advanced Healthcare to Veterans

PATNA — July 14, 2026 — In a historic milestone for veterans and their dependents across Bihar and neighbouring states, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Patna has officially been empaneled with the Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS).

Coming 12 years after the establishment of the institute, this long-awaited inclusion integrates the facility’s renowned clinical excellence, cutting-edge medical technology, and world-class patient care directly into the ECHS network. This crucial development ensures that veterans will now have significantly better access to advanced, affordable, and timely healthcare, effectively reducing the need for them to travel outside the state for specialized medical treatment.

Ultimately, the partnership represents a major step forward in strengthening healthcare infrastructure and delivering quality medical services to those who have served the nation.
