Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences Admission
The Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences ("KIMS") is the medical
school of the KIIT
University situated inBhubaneswar, Odisha, India. This institute gained permission in 2007 from Medical Council of India to start the MBBS courses in medical stream and is
affiliated toKIIT University. At the same
time the sister institute ofKalinga Institute of Dental Sciences ("KIDS") gained permission to start the BDS
courses.
The idea of a medical college was
conceived by Achyuta Samanta when such a private college in Odisha was thought unrealistic.The ground
realities were tough but he had the courage to move ahead with the project even
if there were nothing optimistic to look forward to.
The
college building was constructed first.Subsequently, in August 2004 faculties
were appointed.Up to that point Mr Satyajit Mohanty,CEO played the lead role in
initiating things.
Prof.Radhe
Shyam Panda soon took over as the principal of KIMS .It was realised that MCI
rules are fast changing.They were getting more strict regarding giving permission
to new Medical colleges.The hospital at KIMS was extended to take up more
indoor patients.OPD timings were extended and better services were provided for
free.All were taking place in a makeshift hospital in the Godown area of the
former MAGNETIC company.
On
June 2005 a new hospital building was made at the place of the old makeshift
hospital.It was completed in a record time of 60 days.The hospital acquired new
equipment like a CT scan.It grew up to a higher level.Towards later part of the
year Dr R.N.Samanta joined in as the Hospital Administrator.He heralded a new
change to the hospital.It began to run in a more professional way.His leaving
the institution due to unknown reasons caused concerns for some time .
2006
saw the beginning of the inspection processes by the MCI. Inspections and
negative results got disappointments but hope was always there.June saw the
coming of Prof S.C.Dash an eminent nephrologist from AIIMS as the
superintendent.he later took over as the Principal of KIMS. A noted nephrologist,
he took the institute to its recognition from the MCI. That was in June 2007.
The institute was formally given permission to start MBBS course in 2007.
The
hospital part of KIMS is set to get a big leap forward with the inception of a
new four hospital complex. The institute was earlier affiliated to Utkal University, however in 2009 in
came under the ambit of KIIT University.
