About 2nd Opinion

What is special about AIIMS-trained Doctors?

Since the 1960s the AIIMS, New Delhi is rated the best hospital for training doctors in India. It attracts the best students and faculty from all over India. New AIIMS around India have replicated this success in good measure in the recent past. Yet access of an average patient to quality healthcare is very limited in India outside big cities. Our virtual platform responds to this gap/need.

Through it, AIIMS-trained doctors in private practice in India and abroad provide 2nd Opinion services countrywide. A majority of our specialists/super-specialists are from AIIMS, New Delhi. Their knowledge, skills, and competence compare in quality to that of the best doctors worldwide.
