The AISHa ion source has been designed to generate high brightness multiply charged ion beams for hadrontheraphy applications, with high reliability, easy operations and fast maintenance. In order to get a compact machine, the radial confinement is provided by a Hallbachtype permanent magnet hexapole structure, while axial confinement is allowed by four high field He-free superconducting magnets, allowing the optimization of the magnetic field gradient at ECR resonance. The present work shows the results of ion source commissioning along with next developments.
