Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS) under the Ministry of Defence, and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with objectives of collaboration in areas of mutual interest, combined research and academic activities addressing multidisciplinary scientific and technological issues.

DG AFMS Lt Gen Daljit Singh & Director, AIIMS Professor M Srinivas signed the MoU to explore possibilities of joint research projects, common educational activities, and a faculty exchange programme. The faculties of these two organisations would explore facilities available with both institutions, especially in investigations, research, and patient care services.

The faculty exchange programme will smoothen faculty movement from one institution to another for research and training purposes. A collaboration board of five members from both institutions has been formed, which will have monthly meetings to explore possible collaborations.
