"I have been consistently pursuing the supper specialists to provide free services to the cancer patients in the valley as a Supper Specialty centre was already functional in Ghandi Nagar Hospital Jammu which has really made a difference for patients in Jammu region" Sham Lal told Early Times.
"the three Supper Specialists have already arrived here as state guests , I will inaugurate the Supper Specialty Centre on Friday" the minister said.
Sham Lal said that KNH will gradually provide all types of facilities and all possible efforts are being made to modernize the Nursing Home by equipping it with all facilities.
