Medico Fraternity demands AIIMS for Jammu on CU pattern 3/20/2015 12:05:48 AM Early Times Report Jammu, Mar 19 : Keeping in view of improving health infrastructure and facilities in both the demographic divisions of the state, the doctor's fraternity of Jammu division has demanded allotment of AIIMS for the Jammu division also on the pattern of allotting two central universities in state from both the state and Centre administration. "Though the fraternity hailed the decision of allotting AIMS for the Kashmir but it showed its displeasure over ignoring Jammu division as according to them an AIIMS like institute is also much needed in Jammu division which is already lacking behind in advance health facilities as compared to Kashmir, some doctors observed. Citing examples of sanctioning Central University in Kashmir after the demand was raised from Kashmir, they made it clear that they are not against improving the health sector in Kashmir but want to request both the state and centre administration to allot two AIIMS for state on the same pattern of Central University. Humming similar tunes, Dr Rohit Lahori of Government Medical College and Hospital Jammu said that the two divisions of state have demographic difficulties which limits the referral of patients from Jammu to Srinagar and vice versa which is known to everyone and but despite that AIIMS has not been allotted to Jammu. He said that it is nearly impossible to refer the patients from one division to other in emergency purpose as well as on routine due the demographic difficulties and an AIIMS is much needed in Jammu also the route connecting both divisions' remains closed often and everyone cannot afford air lifting. "Srinagar for that fact is already having a Super Specialty Institution which is catering the need of Kashmir province but no such institute is in Jammu province" he said adding, "if an AIIMS will be established in Jammu it will cater a large catchment area of the province along with the neighbouring states also.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
