A farmer from Nagaon, Assam, had been suffering from persistent kidney pain for months. Local doctors in his district could not diagnose the cause. The nearest AIIMS was in Delhi — a 2,500 km journey. His family did not know that since April 2023, there is an AIIMS right in Guwahati — Changsari — just 3 hours from Nagaon.
He booked an OPD appointment online through ors.gov.in. Travelled to Changsari. AIIMS Guwahati diagnosed him with an early-stage kidney stone — treatable, affordable, and without leaving Assam.
AIIMS Guwahati is Northeast India’s answer to AIIMS Delhi — for patients from Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Tripura, and Sikkim.
