AIIMS Guwahati has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Defence to provide healthcare services to ex-servicemen and their families in the Northeast.
The MoU was signed on Thursday between AIIMS Guwahati and the Regional Centre of the Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS), Guwahati, at the AIIMS Guwahati campus. The agreement is aimed at improving access to medical services for veterans and their dependents in the region.
Dear Reader,
Every day, our team at EastMojo travels through rain, rough roads, and remote hills to bring you stories that matter – stories from your town, your people, your Northeast.
We do this because we believe in truthful, independent journalism. No big corporate backing, no government pressure – just honest reporting by local journalists who live and breathe the same air you do.
But to keep doing this work, we need you. Your small contribution helps us pay our reporters fairly, reach places others ignore, and keep asking the tough questions.
If you believe the Northeast deserves its own fearless voice, stand with us.
Support independent journalism. Be a Member.
Thank you,

Under the arrangement, eligible beneficiaries covered by ECHS will be able to avail specialised medical services and treatment facilities at AIIMS Guwahati. These services will be provided in accordance with the applicable norms and guidelines.
The collaboration is expected to strengthen existing healthcare support mechanisms for ex-servicemen and their families across the North-Eastern states.
