India’s Union Health Ministry inks MoU for enhanced healthcare at IMS, BHU

Funding and technical support will be provided to the Institute.

India’s Union Health Ministry has entered a tripartite memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Education and Banaras Hindu University (BHU) to provide funding and technical support to the Institute of Medical Sciences (IMS), BHU.

The MoU enables the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to extend grants to IMS, BHU, following the model of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) established under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana.

The MoU will also strengthen academic and research collaborations and enable exchanges of students, faculty, staff, and research professionals between the MoHFW, AIIMS, and IMS BHU.

The additional funding aims to boost secondary and tertiary healthcare services, improve clinical care delivery, and reduce the need for patient referrals.
