AB PM-JAY and AB PM-JAY SEHAT: District Hospital Kulgam earns best performing healthcare award

Kulgam, Jan 28: The District Hospital (DH) Kulgam has received the Best Performing Award at the UT for exemplary performance under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY)/Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana SEHAT (AB PM-JAY SEHAT).
The award was presented to Dr Gulzar Ahmad, Medical Superintendent (MS) of DH Kulgam, on Republic Day in Srinagar by Advisor to Lieutenant Governor (LG), Rajeev Rai Bhatnagar.
Speaking with Rising Kashmir, Dr Gulzar said it is a proud moment for the District Hospital Kulgam as the sincere work has been recognized at the highest level. “The award will go a long way in boosting the morale of the entire hospital team to work with more dedication,” he said.
