What Dept. of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, AIIMS Guwahati does

The Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology is a clinical and academic unit within AIIMS Guwahati, a public medical institute designated as an Institute of National Importance under the AIIMS Act and established under the centrally sponsored PMSSY scheme by India's Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. The institute's foundation stone was laid on May 26, 2017 and it was officially inaugurated on April 14, 2023, following the appointment of Prof. Ashok Puranik as Executive Director on July 10, 2022. AIIMS Guwahati comprises 34 clinical and academic departments providing tertiary-level patient care, medical education (MBBS), and a B.Sc Nursing program that admitted its first cohort of 60 students on August 1, 2024 under Principal Prof. Unmona Borgohain Saikia (appointed March 1, 2024).

The Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology delivers diagnostic imaging and image-guided interventional procedures to patients referred from across the Northeast Indian states, functioning as a node within the institute's broader specialty care delivery. As of August 2024, the department is small, with 5 listed employees, consistent with its position in the institute's ramp-up phase. The department's operations are fully integrated with AIIMS Guwahati's academic mission, supporting undergraduate medical education, postgraduate training, and clinical research, although no specific research output or AI/ML capability is disclosed in the available data.

As a government institution, the department does not operate on a commercial revenue model; it is funded through central government budgetary allocations under PMSSY and supplemented by nominal subsidized user charges from patients. Its go-to-market is effectively public-sector: serving as a referral center for primary and secondary public hospitals in the region and providing walk-in outpatient services at subsidized rates, with no commercial sales motion, pricing tiers, or customer acquisition channels in the private-sector sense.
