AIIMS Delhi just launched their new ₹15 crore sports complex in March 2026, and honestly yaar, it’s about time our medical students got proper facilities! The All Institute of Medical Sciences network across Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Bhubaneswar is finally taking sports seriously for future doctors.
Matlab, imagine studying 12+ hours daily and having zero time for physical fitness – that’s what most AIIMS students faced until now.

Future Doctors Need Fitness Too
Honestly yaar, medical students work crazy hours – sometimes 36-hour shifts during internship. Physical fitness becomes secondary, but AIIMS is changing this mindset.
AIIMS Delhi made 1-hour daily sports mandatory for first-year MBBS students from April 2026. Students can choose between cricket, badminton, football, or gym sessions.
The institute tracks fitness levels of 1,200+ students and noticed 40% improvement in stress management among those playing regular sports.
Mujhe lagta hai this sports focus will create healthier doctors who understand fitness importance firsthand. After all, how can an unfit doctor motivate patients about healthy living?
