JAMMU, Nov 7:Minister for Health Welfare Sham Lal Sharma has reiterated the commitment of the coalition Government to upgrade the medicare facilities across the State, particularly in the rural and far-flung areas. He said Government has already declared that health and education are the core sectors which will continue to receive the focused attention.
The Minister was interacting with the people after inspecting the week long free Surgical-cum-Medical Camp at Sub-District Hospital, Jourian today.
He said the Government has created massive health infrastructure across the State and things have tremendously improved on ground. It has been ensured that people get improved medicare facilities at their doorsteps instead of visiting to cities to avail specialized treatments. At Primary Health Centre level, all vital diagnostic facilities and services of specialized doctors have been made available round the clock despite paucity of staff.

Seeking people’s support to keep hospitals neat and clean, Sharma said that Government’s duty is to create facilities and people have to protect these assets.

Appreciating the efforts of the organizers for arranging the medical camp in this border town, the Minister said that the effort will benefit the local people, hoping that patients suffering from the serious ailments will be the beneficiaries of the event.
