- The landscape of healthcare in J&K is undergoing a profound transformation. What was once a region with underserved medical facilities is now witnessing an unprecedented wave of development, thanks to dedicated efforts from the central government.
- As of March 31, 2021, Jammu and Kashmir had remarkably strengthened its primary healthcare infrastructure under the National Health Mission (NHM). The region boasted an extensive network of 2,470 Sub-Centres, 923 Primary Health Centres (PHCs), and 77 Community Health Centres (CHCs), significantly enhancing grassroots healthcare access.
- Further bolstering specialised care, J&K’s maternal and child health facilities included 32 Sick Newborn Care Units (SNCUs), 69 Newborn Stabilization Units (NBSUs), and 282 Newborn Care Corners (NBCCs).
- To bridge the gap in remote and underserved areas, Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) had been strategically deployed in 10 districts, ensuring healthcare reaches even the most challenging terrains.
