Jammu, Feb 15: Expressing her gratitude to Union Health Minister Gulam Nabi Azad for sanctioning 2 Cancer Institutions and 4 Medical Colleges in Jammu and Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has welcomed the decision of the Union Health Ministry to open New Medical Institutions in the state.
Addressing a function here today the party President Mehbooba Mufti expressed her gratitude to Union Health Minister Gulam Nabi Azad for sanctioning the six health institute in the state and hoped it could improve health facilities and opportunities of medical education in J&K.
In her address Mehbooba said there was always need and scope for up gradation of advance medical facilities in the state, especially in the field of treatment of Cancer for which people have generally to go outside the state involving huge expenditure and inconvenience.
"Similarly, given the shortage of medical professionals in the country, the establishment of Medical Colleges will open new avenues for the talented youth of the state who want to pursue the profession,' said Mehbooba.
PDP President said it would have been appreciable if Rajouri and Poonch had been included for the establishment of Medical Colleges in the Pir Panchal region and PDP will pursue that project in future. She said Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and Muzzafar Hussain Beigh have been constantly making efforts for the establishment of Medical Colleges at Baramulla, Anantnag and during the previous govt invested considerably for the establishment of 300 bedded hospital, a pre requisite for setting up of medical college. She said the Medical College in Doda region will cater to the needs of that area which is at present lacking even basic health infrastructure.
PDP president also said the people of the state have made up their mind to get rid of the mis-governance and corruption that has been the hallmark of National Conference and its government. She said change in the state is inevitable and PDP has emerged as the instrument of that change as indicated by all recent opinion polls and that trend is endorsed by the entry into party by political workers like Gulzar and people from different sections of society in large number.
The function was organized to welcome into the party fold a prominent political worker from Noorabad constituency of South Kashmir into the party fold.
Gulzar Ahmad Dar along with his supporters joined the PDP during a joining ceremony which was attended by among the others senior party leaders and legislatures Abdul Gaffar Sofi, Nayeem Akhtar and Peerzada Mansoor Hussain and local leader of Noorabad Abdul Majeed Padroo. |
