From Bathinda,to theIR suite.
"The Malwa belt — Bathinda, Mansa, Muktsar — is a high-diabetes, high-CKD region. Fistula work and limb salvage referrals are frequent."
AIIMS Bathinda now handles many cases locally, but complex endovascular work and second opinions still route to Mohali. Patients often combine an overnight Chandigarh stay with a single-day work-up and consult.
How patients from Bathinda travel.
Drive: Bathinda → Barnala → Ludhiana → Mohali (3h30m)
Rail: Bathinda → Chandigarh via change at Ludhiana
