Srinagar: In a recent document uploaded on the National Health Mission, the government referred to the 'Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences' as 'Shri Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences Srinagar', for which it received sharp criticism from the citizens.

The document which was published on the National Health Mission, was about the National Viral Hepatitis Programme. The document refers to 'Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS)' as "Shri Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences." The document has been presently taken away from the website after the government's misnaming led to a public outrage.

Many took to social media to express their disapproval of the government's action as well. The document went viral on social media where people raised questions.

A citized tweeted, "Where is Shri Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences Srinagar in #Kashmir? Any idea! Was going through the National Viral Hepatitis Control Program PDF booklet & noticed that Funds have been released this Institute for fighting Hepatitis-C. GMC Srinagar & Jammu too have 109.93 Lakhs," while another tweeted, "This name-sake government is worthy only of this! Attending to whims of the fugitives, they think they can change anything on ground?"

Initially when the issue came to light, the Mission Director of National Health Mission Mohammad Yasin Choudhary called the document 'fake and concocted' on Twitter. However, he later stated that "erroneous document has been taken down". He said, "I apologize for the misinformed comment earlier. The erroneous docment has been taken down. There was a clerical error at the Ministry's end that entailed the wrong full form in the ppt. Request everyone to please donot assume any unjustified notions. @NHMJK5."

According to a media report in the Kashmir News, the Additional Chief Secretary Health and Medical Education Vivek Bhardwaj said that there is no such presentation before the government and there was a typographical error in the 2018 presentation. He said, "Please check the facts. It's a presentation of 2018 where a typographical error had been made. No such proposal."

SKIMS is a tertiary care health facility deemed as a medical university. The foundation stone of the institute was laid in the year 1978 and the institute was made open to the public on 5th December, 1982.
