Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that the Jammu and Kashmir administration is making relentless efforts to bridge the health gap and is committed to completely transform the delivery of health care services, Lt Governor Manoj Sinha said. Sinha was addressing a function after virtually inaugurating from the Raj Bhavan a Rotary India medical camp, jointly organised with the health department, in Anantnag, Shopian, Pulwama and Kulgam districts of south Kashmir. The camp will focus on ophthalmology, general and laparoscopic surgeries, ENT and cancer surgeries, gynaecology, orthopaedics, paediatric and plastic surgery.

Sinha expressed gratitude and admiration for the doctors and the nursing community for their selfless service. Rotary India is a symbol of selflessness and, in coordination with 450 health department staff, they aim to contribute in the overall well-being of the common man, he said.
