Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences

What Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences does

Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) is a private medical college and 1,750-bed multi-specialty tertiary hospital operating from the KIIT Campus-5 in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. Founded in 2004 by Prof. Achyuta Samanta alongside the Pradyumna Bal Memorial Hospital (PBMH), the institution operates under the umbrella of KIIT (Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology). KIMS serves two primary customer sets: medical students pursuing undergraduate (MBBS, 5.5 years), postgraduate (MD/MS, 3 years), super-specialty (DM/MCh), allied medical sciences, fellowship, and PhD programs; and patients across Odisha and neighbouring states seeking tertiary and super-specialty healthcare.

The clinical portfolio spans broad and super-specialty departments including Gastro Sciences, Cardiac Sciences, Neuro Sciences, Pediatric Sciences, Cancer Care, Rheumatology, Nephrology and Urology (with dialysis and kidney transplant), General Surgery, Orthopedics, Laparoscopic and Plastic Surgery, Ophthalmology, ENT, General Medicine, Endocrinology, Pulmonology, Dermatology, Psychiatry, and Pain and Palliative Care. Supporting infrastructure includes a 24x7 NABL-accredited central laboratory, radiological services, a 24x7 blood bank, the newly inaugurated Super Speciality Hospital, and a dedicated Cancer Care Centre. Academic and clinical operations are reinforced by multi-institution partnerships (CMC Vellore, VIMSAR, SCB Medical, MKCG, IMS SUM, OUAT, CIFA, SLN Medical College) and the DOAJ-indexed Journal of Integrative Medicine and Research published via LWW.

Revenue is generated through two principal streams: (1) medical education tuition across MBBS, MD/MS, DM/MCh, allied health, fellowship, and PhD programs, with admissions routed through MCC centralized counseling; and (2) patient care services across outpatient, inpatient, emergency, surgical, and diagnostic lines at PBMH. Student acquisition is sales-led via MCC allotments, and patient acquisition combines walk-in emergency/OPD, institutional referrals, and community outreach. Pricing for both tuition and clinical services is not publicly disclosed. The institution holds NMC approval, NABL accreditation, NIRF 2025 Top 24 ranking, Outlook 5th-best multi-specialty facility in Eastern India designation, and the India Today Healthgiri Award 2021.
