The Lt Governor said that J&K is the only UT/State in the country with universal health insurance coverage for up to Rs. 5 lakh per family. We are also having an extensive budget for the health sector.

More healthcare projects and MoUs are in the pipeline to ensure best healthcare within the reach of every citizen of the UT, added the Lt Governor.

In the first phase, Apollo Hospitals will set up a 250-bed hospital in the region. Well-known for clinical excellence, Apollo has a robust presence across the healthcare ecosystem, providing high-quality, patient-focused medical care.

Sh. Ranjan Prakash Thakur, Principal Secretary to J&K Government, Industries & Commerce Department spoke on the health facilities to be extended to the people of the UT through the MoU.

Dr. Preetha Reddy, Executive Vice Chairperson, Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited shared the vision of the Apollo hospitals to establish state-of-the-art health facilities in the UT.

We understand that the health sector creates vast job opportunities and this project will also generate more than 1000 direct employment. That is the responsibility which all of us collectively have set forth to discharge. Apart from this, it will also become the training centre not only for doctors, but also for the nurses, paramedics, technicians, and allied healthcare workers, said Dr. Reddy.

Tomorrow when J&K would become a hub for healthcare tourism, people from rest of the world can also be treated here. In a way, this project will help us heal the world, she added.

We are committed to bring specialists in various healthcare sectors on board. Trained health personnel are required to efficiently look after the people in need of medical attention. We are happy to bring good standard of training, learning and skilling in the health sector to J&K.

This is a very progressive step. We are thankful to Hon’ble Lt Governor for giving us this opportunity.  I believe that it’s a giant leap of faith but it is a project which will put us on the global map, Dr. Reddy said.

Dr Arun Kumar Mehta, Chief Secretary; Sh Atal Dulloo, Additional Chief Secretary, Finance Department; Sh Vivek Bhardwaj, Additional Chief Secretary, Health and Medical Education Department; Sh Dheeraj Gupta, Principal Secretary, H&UDD; Ms. Anoo Malhotra, Director, I&C, Jammu, besides other senior officers were present during the MoU signing ceremony at Civil Secretariat.
