Advanced technology and facilities expanded at GMC&AH Rajouri, provide major boost to healthcare

GMC&AH Rajouri gets major healthcare boost with new 200-bed building, 24x7 oxygen plants, advanced labs, and improved emergency services.

"Day by day, the service delivery is showing improvement... Our rates for surgeries and deliveries have increased significantly. - Shamim Ahmed Choudhary"

Rajouri, April 3

The Government Medical College and Associated Hospital, Rajouri, has been upgraded with hi-tech machinery, a 200-bedded facility and 24x7 services.

The upgradation with modern labs, oxygen plants, and upgraded testing facilities has brought major relief for the patients of the Pir Panjal region, Rajouri, Poonch, and part of the Reasi district.

These developments have been carried out under various government initiatives, including Ayushman Bharat, aiming to strengthen basic healthcare facilities in remote and border regions.

A new 200-bedded building has been made functional, ensuring better accommodation and treatment for patients. The hospital now provides 24x7 electricity and oxygen supply through newly installed oxygen plants, strengthening emergency and critical care services.

Medical Superintendent at GMC&AH Rajouri Shamim Ahmed Choudhary said, "Day by day, the service delivery is showing improvement. Several departments that did not exist previously have now been established. Our rates for surgeries and deliveries have increased significantly, and there have been improvements in lab testing, with advanced machinery installed in the laboratory. A dedicated feeder line has been sanctioned, and work on it has already commenced; once completed, the issues regarding electricity supply and backup power will be resolved. Additionally, 1000 mVA generator sets have been installed, which will further help in resolving the backup power issues."

Availability of all types of diagnostic tests and advanced surgical procedures has further enhanced the hospital's capacity to serve patients locally, reducing the need for referrals outside the district.

In addition, new patient service counters have been opened to streamline processes and reduce waiting time, offering much-needed convenience and relief to the public.

GMC&AH Rajouri plays a crucial role in catering to the healthcare needs of the entire Pir Panjal region, and the recent upgrades mark a major step toward accessible, affordable, and quality medical care for the people.

As someone from a border village, I know how crucial this is. My uncle had to be airlifted last year due to lack of facilities. Upgrades under Ayushman Bharat are a game-changer for remote areas. Hope the service counters truly reduce the long queues we usually see.

Good step, but the proof will be in sustained execution. Often, new machines arrive but break down due to poor maintenance. I appreciate the mention of a dedicated feeder line for electricity—that's a core issue in many government hospitals. Let's hope it's completed on time.

Investing in healthcare infrastructure in border regions is vital for national well-being. Reducing the need for referrals outside the district not only saves time and money for families but also builds local resilience. A very positive development.

Heartening to see such focus on the Pir Panjal region. The 200-bed facility and advanced labs are much needed. My only request: please ensure cleanliness and hygiene are given top priority alongside the new machinery. A clean hospital is as important as a high-tech one.

This is what development should look like—concrete improvements in critical services. The installation of 1000 mVA generators is a smart move, considering the power issues in hilly areas. Hope other border districts get similar upgrades soon. Jai Hind!
