Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda will lay the foundation stone on 12 October.
The centre is called the Indian Council of Medical Research Centre for High‑Altitude Medicine and Public Health Research.
Research will cover high‑altitude physiology, climate‑sensitive diseases, maternal and child health, nutrition, mental health, and disaster medicine.
Collaborations with the armed forces, research institutes, and the Himachal Pradesh government will support the work.
The centre will investigate how extreme altitude, cold weather, and remote geography influence disease patterns, maternal and child health, and emergency response.
It will employ digital health platforms, telemedicine, and drone logistics to deliver healthcare to isolated communities.
The foundation stone ceremony, led by Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda, is scheduled for 12 October and will include traditional rituals and planting of Himalayan saplings.
