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.

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.
