About the Institute:
Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences also RIMS is a medical institute located in Adilabad. It is affiliated to NTR University of Health Sciences. It was established by Y.S.Rajasekhar Reddy, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh (2004-2009) in the year 2008.
For any new budding institute, satisfying the norms of MCI regarding staff is an Herculean Task. The Corporate Medical Colleges are attracting the qualified hands with attractive salaries and with other benefits. Hence, majority of Government Medical Colleges are without adequate qualified hands. Government of AP made alternate arrangements to attract more number of qualified hands by introducing semiautonomous regulations to the Faculty wherein lumpsum salaries are paid without pension benefits and other service facilities. The continuous efforts of Director of Medical Education & RIMS Authorities succeeded to recruit reasonably good number of qualified hands. The staff position in the institute is reasonably good compared to other Government and Private Medical Colleges.
In the past, RIMS Hospital was a secondary level care hospital i.e., District Hospital. It was located in Adilabad town. Now the daily out patient’s attendance has reached 1200.
