Once fully functional, IRIA will be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including a full-fledged 100-bed research hospital, a diagnostic complex, an academic and research cell, translational research facilities, incubations hubs and specialized laboratories. The 300-acre campus also features a manuscript centre and a medicinal plant nursery to support its comprehensive research mandate.
