As someone who has family in Rajkot, this is fantastic news. The region needs more specialized healthcare options. Hoping AIIMS Rajkot gets the support it needs to become a center of excellence quickly.

The expansion of AIIMS across India is one of the best policies in recent times. It decentralizes quality healthcare. President's advice to focus on local health issues is crucial. Let's hope the administration listens.

While the visit and the new AIIMS are positive, I respectfully feel the article focuses too much on the ceremonial welcome. More details on the concrete plans for AIIMS Rajkot would have been more useful for the public.
