New Delhi: On January 20th, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) issued a memorandum announcing a half-day closure until 2:30 PM in light of the Ram Lalla Pran Pratishtha ceremony in Ayodhya.

Hello humans

Please don’t go into a medical emergency on 22nd , and if you do schedule it for post 2pm since AIIMS Delhi is taking time off to welcome Maryada Purushottam Ram

PS: However, wonder if Lord Ram would agree that health services are disrupted to welcome him.

The notice clarified that despite the hospital being on high alert until February 21, 2024, critical clinical services would remain operational. However, some opposition leaders and left-liberals posted content suggesting a shutdown of emergency services. Priyanka Chaturvedi, Shiv Sena MP for Rajya Sabha, humorously urged people not to have a medical emergency on the 22nd and, if they did, to schedule it after 2 PM. She questioned the disruption of health services to welcome Lord Ram.

दोपहर के 2.30 बजे तक प्राण प्रतिष्ठा के चलते अगर AIIMS जैसा अस्पताल बंद रहा,

तो जिन लोगों के प्राण इलाज के अभाव में निकलेंगे उनके लिए किसको धन्यवाद करना है? https://t.co/IEBDuVkSWS

Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal expressed disappointment over the shutdown of the OPD, stating that such an occurrence would never have happened in Ram Rajya. Srinivas BV, National President of Indian Youth Congress, raised concerns about potential lives lost due to the temporary closure.

यह आदेश शर्मनाक है कि दिल्ली का एम्स भी 22 जनवरी को बंद रहेगा , ढाई बजे तक एम्स को कोई भी विभाग नही खुलेगा, मरीज़ मरते है तो मरने दो बस 22 जनवरी के उद्घाटन समारोह में कोई कमी नही रहनी चाहिए, @aiims_newdelhi आप भी कमाल करते हो, एक तरफ़ डॉक्टर ख़ुद को भगवान सुनना चाहता है दूसरी… pic.twitter.com/N54hCbvCC4

Despite criticism from left-liberals and opposition figures, it was highlighted that AIIMS OPD routinely closes on national holidays, including Eid, Christmas, Diwali, Independence Day, Republic Day, and weekends. The Pran Pratishtha ceremony for the Ram Mandir is a significant event in Independent India's history, holding immense importance for the country's majority Hindus. AIIMS employees, including doctors, have the right to partake in the celebrations.

As stated in the notice, emergency and critical services at the hospital will continue without interruption, ensuring immediate assistance for any patient in need.
