BUDGAM, MAY 15: Speaker Legislative Assembly Abdul Rahim Rather on Thursday inaugurated several advanced healthcare facilities at Community Health Centre Kremshore aimed at strengthening medical infrastructure and improving patient care services in the area.
The newly established facilities include a dedicated Hotline Service, an Ultrasonography (USG) Machine and a modern Dental Chair to enhance healthcare accessibility, diagnostic capabilities and quality treatment for the local population.
Speaking on the occasion, Abdul Rahim Rather reiterated the government’s commitment towards strengthening healthcare services at the grassroots level. He said that improving medical infrastructure in rural areas remains a priority to ensure timely diagnosis, better treatment facilities and reduced dependence on tertiary healthcare institutions.
He highlighted that the addition of advanced diagnostic and dental facilities at CHC Kremshore would significantly benefit patients from Kremshore and adjoining areas.
The newly launched Hotline Service will facilitate improved healthcare communication and patient care, while the Ultrasonography Machine is expected to strengthen diagnostic services, particularly for pregnant women, elderly patients and individuals requiring immediate imaging support.
Similarly, the installation of the modern Dental Chair will enhance oral healthcare services in the region by enabling specialized dental treatment locally and reducing the need for patients to travel long distances.
During the programme, health officials briefed the dignitaries about the functioning of the health institution and ongoing initiatives aimed at improving healthcare outreach, preventive care and patient satisfaction.
The Speaker appreciated the efforts of the Health Department and medical staff for their dedication in delivering quality healthcare services despite various challenges. He also interacted with doctors, paramedical staff and members of the public, encouraging healthcare professionals to continue providing compassionate and patient-friendly services.
The inauguration marks another milestone in the government’s ongoing efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure and ensure accessible, affordable and quality medical services for all sections of society.
