Healthcare transformation in J&K

Sir,
The laying of foundation stones for 13 Critical Care Blocks and other initiatives spearheaded by Prime Minister Modi’s Government reflect a significant commitment to improving healthcare access and quality in the region.
The establishment of dedicated units equipped with advanced equipment and specialized staff will undoubtedly enhance the capacity to handle critical medical cases, particularly benefiting those in remote areas. Furthermore, initiatives such as the allocation of AIIMS facilities, mobile health units, and increased medical seats demonstrate a holistic approach towards addressing long-standing healthcare challenges.
While these developments are commendable, it’s crucial to sustain these efforts and focus on areas like attracting and retaining medical professionals, and promoting digital health services for remote consultations. The transformative impact of these initiatives on the healthcare landscape in Jammu and Kashmir is truly remarkable and deserves recognition.
