Maternal health services also remained uninterrupted, with 37 normal deliveries and 39 lower-segment caesarean sections (LSCS) performed. Critical healthcare services such as dialysis sessions and diagnostic tests continued unaffected. 14,541 laboratory tests were conducted and imaging services like USG (852), X-ray (1,322), ECG (1,105), and CT scans (53) were conducted efficiently.

Furthermore, 62 patients requiring advanced care were referred to higher centers.
Meanwhile, Divisional-level officers were deployed to various districts across the Kashmir division to assess the preparedness cum arrangements of health facilities to tackle challenges arising from inclement weather.

Director Health Services Kashmir, Dr Jehangir Bakshi in advance had instructed Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) and other district health administrators to coordinate with the District Administration to ensure that all approach roads leading to health facilities are promptly cleared of snow.

Additionally, CMOs were directed to guarantee the availability of all the staff as per roster, drugs and functional heating arrangements in all healthcare facilities so to provide uninterrupted services to patients.

Dedicated Control Rooms at Divisional and District level have been constituted for hassle free health care services keeping the inclement weather conditions into consideration.

Director personally monitored and supervised various peripheral hospitals to take stock of health care services and was in continuous touch with all district health care administrators who too were monitoring the health care centres falling under their administrative control.

The Directorate highlighted several critical cases managed successfully during the harsh weather.
