JAMMU: Welcoming the laying down of foundation stone for three Medical Colleges at Rajouri, Baramulla and Anantnag, President, Chamber of Commerce and Industries (CCI), Rakesh Gupta urged the Union Health Minister J.P Nadda to come up with the notification for the establishment of AIIMS both at Vijaypur and Awantipura at the earliest.
Chamber also hailed the announcement made by Union Health Minister that two cancer institutes and two AIIMS will come up soon in the J and K State.
Pointing out the plight of the Super Specialty Hospital Jammu which can in no way be termed as a Super Specialty Hospital, the Chamber cautioned both the State and the Union Health Ministry that patients need doctors and medical machinery and not just buildings.
Chamber president, while chairing a meeting, demanded that the Super Specialty Hospital Jammu be immediately out sourced on PPP mode or else handed over to Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board who have already opertionalised the Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Super Specialty Hospital on PPP mode.
The chamber has decided to take up this matter of out sourcing of Super Specialty Hospital Jammu with the respective Ministry in the State and is ready to go to any extent to get this out sourcing done as the State has miserably failed to run the same institute as per the definitions of Super Specialty Hospital.
Other Officer bearers present in the meeting include Sham Lal Langer, Sr. Vice President, Deepak Aggarwal, Jr. Vice President, Arun Gupta, Secretary General, Rahul Mahajan, Secretary and Ashu Gupta, Treasurer.
