In a meeting of the Chamber held here today its members described the announcement of three Cancer Institutes and setting up of two AIIMS in J&K shortly as positive development but at the same time, they urged the Union Government to come up with notification on the AIIMS at Vijaypur in Samba and Awantipur in Kashmir.
Rakesh Gupta, Chamber president reposed full faith in the announcement made by JP Nadda in presence of Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, Dr Jitendra Singh Union MoS in PMO and Bali Bhagat, Minister for Health and Medical Education.
