Union Minister Suresh Gopi has reaffirmed the commitment to establishing an All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Kerala. Speaking to reporters in Guruvayur, he emphasized the state would definitely receive the distinguished institute.

Further hinting at central government interests in Kerala, Gopi announced an additional project is slated for the state.
