In addition to sharing institutional developments, the platforms are expected to serve as a medium for promoting health education and increasing public awareness on health-related issues among residents of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Speaking on the launch, Director of ANIIMS, Prof. Dr. Mukesh Tripathi, said the introduction of the institute’s official social media pages marks an important step towards bridging the gap between the institution and the public.
