The Computer Facility was created at AIIMS in 1988 in view of the increasing demands and pressing needs of the institute for the computerization of Patient Care System, academics, administration and library etc.  The computer Facility has ever since been responsible for established of a local Area Network on a fiber backbone of 2 kilometer length, catering to more than 550 nodes supporting the Institute, its hospital, Centers, the establishment, finance and the library... It is responsible for the application of computerization in academics where computational needs of the departments is assessed, procured and installed for the requirement of technology for research and teaching.  The network management unit of Computer Facility is responsible for maintenance of network, its ever expanding needs, procurement of stat -of -art technology for higher speeds, development and installation of networks and network hardware.  The Computer Facility has already established internet site hosted on its own server at the 

             "The Computer Facility's internet and intranet unit takes care of maintenance of its proxy Mail and HTTP server for AIIMS, up gradation of internet services, development of the web site and the contents creation and management of the latest information of the departments at its web site. The management support unit of Computer Facility looks after the development and software and its maintenance for all the computational needs of the establishment, recruitment, audit, accounts and other administrative units of the AIIMS.
                 The Patient Care System which is gigantic task (and once developed earlier) has been undertaken again on a mass scale of designing and implementation of single system to cater to the needs of all the centers and AIIMS hospital- inpatient and outpatients, the need of laboratory services and management information services for the patients.
                 The Institute is connected on to the Wide Area Network through the high speed dedicated link provided by MTNL and AIIMS to VSNL.  The library network of the Institute is highly advanced and it is being upgraded to be available through web browsing so that readers may avail of the services form anywhere on the network.
                 The Computer Facility had also initiated certain teaching programme like Computer in Nursing (B.Sc.), Biotechnology, Human  Biology. Certain other programs providing regular courses in Medical Informatics at Diploma in Postgraduate level which have been proposed by the Computer Facility are currently under consideration of the Institute.
