Central India Institute of Medical Sciences

What Central India Institute of Medical Sciences does

Central India Institute of Medical Sciences (CIIMS) is a multi-specialty hospital and medical research institute based in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India, founded in 1984 by Dr. G.M. Taori as a Public Charitable Trust and registered society. The institute operates as a 40+ bed tertiary hospital (40+ ICU beds, 3 operating theaters) anchored on neurology and neurosurgery, with a ~500 km referral catchment across Central India and approximately 25,000 neurology patients seen annually. Its core clinical stack includes advanced neurosurgical instrumentation — CUSA Selector 4 (UK), Midas Rex (Germany), da Vinci Robotic Surgical System, intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring (SSEP, digital EEG), Neurosign 100 nerve stimulator, CRW FN stereotactic system, and Malis CMC III bipolar cautery — combined with MRI, CT, video EEG, EMG/NCV, and a comprehensive stroke care center and epilepsy surgery program. CIIMS is NABH accredited and runs DNB/DrNB training programs accredited by the National Board of Examination since 1999, alongside PhD affiliations and a basic life sciences research center (CIIMS-ARC, inaugurated July 2023) conducting funded projects with DST, DBT, ICMR, CSIR, Ministry of Ayush, University of Nottingham (GCRF), and AIIMS/IIT Delhi (UK-India collaboration, Oct 2025). The institute's revenue model is multi-stream: (1) hospital services (inpatient/outpatient, diagnostics) as the primary income source, (2) research grants from government and international agencies, (3) DNB/PhD academic programs, and (4) philanthropy and public donations that have historically underwritten capital expansion, with the most recent strategic move being a February 2026 MOU with Tata Trusts, Mumbai.
