Govt to corporate houses for better health care: CM 6/3/2016 12:02:52 AM Early Times Report srinagar, June 2: Jammu and Kashmir government is working towards providing a model hospital in every constituency of the state which would be equipped with all the modern diagnostic and health care facilities, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti said here today. "We have taken up two hospitals - one at Dooru in Anantnag district of Kashmir and the other at Basohli in Kathua district of Jammu - on pilot basis and will soon broaden the ambit of the scheme by providing a model hospital with similar facilities in every constituency," she said in the Legislative Council. The state has 87 constituencies in all. She said each such hospital would also have the much-needed gynaecological facilities for the women. Mehbooba said the government would approach the corporate houses within and outside the state for taking up the hospitals under the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Besides, the legislators will also be requested to provide the necessary funds from their Constituency Development Fund (CDF) for procuring various facilities, she said. The Chief Minister said the step would go a long way in ensuring that the health infrastructure gets the requisite augmentation in diagnostics as well as the health care services to be given to the people, besides reducing the load on the district hospitals. This is similar to the initiative of model schools undertaken by Education Minister Naeem Akhtar. There is a need to rationalize the availability of doctors in various hospitals of the state, she said. "A start has been made and I hope we can take it further," Mehbooba said.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
