At present the proposed stem cell research centre and bone marrow transplantation facilities are under construction and once these two facilities will come into operation, the poorest of the poor can avail most advanced treatment facilities at affordable rates.

NIMS is regarded as one of the best hospitals run by the government in the state. It is the only hospital in the government sector to have advanced medical treatment facilities on par with some of the leading Super Speciality Hospitals in Hyderabad.
