The Story in Brief
The Standing Finance Committee of Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS), Soura, met after a gap of over five years under Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo, who set a vision to transform the institute into a quaternary healthcare facility and a Centre of Excellence. Dulloo directed SKIMS to prepare a comprehensive roadmap so patients from Jammu and Kashmir do not need to travel outside for advanced treatment. The committee cleared several infrastructure projects, including an Emergency Block, a Trauma Care Centre and an Organ Transplant Unit. Director Prof. Mohd. Ashraf Ganie presented key performance indicators and a plan for institutional expansion.
The Indian Opinion
Jammu and Kashmir's health infrastructure has long suffered from broken review cycles. The revival of SKIMS's finance committee after five years is welcome, but sceptics will watch whether this leads to completed projects or yet another blueprint. The real test is whether the promised Emergency Block, Trauma Centre and Organ Transplant Unit get funded and built. Will the roadmap include clear timelines and budgets?
