Dr Nikhil Tandon has been appointed as the officiating Director of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Delhi. He is currently the Professor and Head of Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, and Dean (Academic), according to the Office Memorandum.

Dr Nikhil Tondon will look after the functions of the Director in this post to his current duties, "With immediate effect for six months or till a regular Director is appointed, whichever is earlier," read the office memorandum.

Dr M Sirinivas was the Director of AIIMS Delhi. He was appointed as Director of AIIMS on September 22, 2022. Earlier, he was the dean of Employees' State Insurance Company (ESIC) Hospital and Medical College, Hyderabad. (ANI)
