Hospitals in Jammu and Kashmir

From WikiMD.com Medical Encyclopedia

Jammu and Kashmir, restructured as a union territory in 2019, boasts a rich history and diverse geography, encompassing the plains of Jammu and the scenic valleys of Kashmir. Over the years, with both central and local initiatives, the region has seen improvements in its healthcare infrastructure, though it still faces challenges due to its unique topography and sociopolitical scenario.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Healthcare in Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed an evolution with an increasing emphasis on enhancing medical facilities, training, and research. The region has a mix of state-run hospitals, private hospitals, and specialty clinics. While the cities and larger towns are well-equipped with modern healthcare amenities, the remote areas still have limited access, often necessitating residents to travel to bigger cities for treatment.

Health Challenges and Initiatives[edit | edit source]

Jammu and Kashmir's unique geographic location presents healthcare challenges, especially in the rural and hilly areas. Transportation during winters, especially in the snow-bound regions, is a concern. However, the local administration has been making efforts in setting up healthcare units in remote locations. Telemedicine is also being introduced as a solution to cater to the inaccessible regions.

Mobile medical units, health camps in remote areas, and awareness campaigns about regional diseases are some of the initiatives undertaken by the government and NGOs. No results
