Structure around AIIMS’ role: Use subheadings like Diagnostics, Targeted Therapy, Surveillance, Infection Control—cite examples such as IRDL, AMRSN, rapid diagnostics, and BPaL-M regimen.
Conclude with way forward: Link AIIMS’ research to broader outcomes—reduced empirical antibiotic use, improved patient outcomes, stronger antimicrobial stewardship, and alignment with National Action Plan on AMR.
