Replying to a question of MLA Kupwara, the Minister said that one Dialysis Centre is being established in District Kupwara under Centrally Sponsored Scheme "National Dialysis Programme (NDP)" and for District Hospital Handwara, funds have been released under National Health Mission during the current fiscal.
While replying to another part of the Question, the Minister said that the MoU submitted earlier to the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for setting up a Tertiary Care Cancer Centre (TCCC) at Kupwara was not accepted.
