The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir is set to witness significant strides in healthcare infrastructure with the sanctioning of Integrated Ayush Hospitals and Health and Wellness Centres. In a notable move by the Government, four Integrated Ayush Hospitals are slated to become operational during the 2024-25 financial year, alongside 40 Health and Wellness Centres set to be operational by the end of March this year. The imminent operationalization of these facilities heralds a new era in healthcare accessibility for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The timely completion of some hospitals within the next six months underscores the commitment to expediting healthcare infrastructure development. However, challenges persist, particularly in some hospitals due to unavoidable circumstances, necessitating a cautious approach to setting timelines for their operationalization.
Parallel to the establishment of Integrated Ayush Hospitals, the Union Ayush Ministry’s initiative to sanction 523 Ayush Health and Wellness Centres across Jammu and Kashmir underscores a holistic approach to healthcare. With 483 centres already operational, the remaining 40 are slated to be functional by the end of March this year, ensuring comprehensive healthcare coverage across the UT. These initiatives not only address immediate healthcare needs but also align with broader developmental objectives. By integrating traditional Ayush practices with modern healthcare, the UT is poised to offer holistic and inclusive healthcare services. Moreover, the emphasis on preventive healthcare and wellness not only reduces the burden on secondary and tertiary care facilities but also fosters a culture of proactive health management among the populace. The establishment of Integrated Ayush Hospitals and Health and Wellness Centres in Jammu and Kashmir represents a significant milestone in healthcare infrastructure development.
