The All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), New Delhi, has released a report highlighting its achievements over the past decade, documenting the expansion of its clinical services and healthcare outreach. According to the report, a total of 37,74,524 patients received healthcare services across the institute’s main campus and affiliated and outreach centres between October 2016 and September 2026. The milestone reflects the institute’s growing clinical reach and its continued efforts to strengthen Ayurveda-based healthcare through quality patient care, education and research.

Of the total patients served, approximately 30,37,077 received healthcare services at AIIA’s main campus in Sarita Vihar, New Delhi. The institute’s clinical infrastructure includes outpatient department (OPD) services with the capacity to attend to approximately 3,000 patients daily and a 200-bed inpatient department (IPD), enabling it to cater to a large and diverse patient population.

Beyond its main campus, AIIA has expanded its healthcare outreach through its satellite centre in Goa and affiliated and outreach facilities at Safdarjung Hospital, the UPSC Building, the National Cancer Institute at Jhajjar, the IAS Training Centre in Mussoorie, and Kevadia, Ekta Nagar. These centres collectively served approximately 7.37 lakh patients during the reporting period, extending the reach of the institute’s clinical services to more people.

According to AIIA Director Prof. (Vaidya) P. K. Prajapati, public interest in Ayurveda increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the subsequent years. He noted that patient footfall at the institute had increased more than fourfold, reflecting the growing demand for Ayurveda-based consultations and treatment. The institute attended to approximately 1.23 lakh patients in 2020, with the number rising to over 5.40 lakh by September 2026.

The release of the decade-long report on Foundation Day, alongside the organisation of KAUMARACON-2026, underscores AIIA’s focus on expanding access to clinical services while strengthening the role of Ayurveda through scientific research, quality education and institutional collaboration.
