India expands maternal and neonatal care facilities in Jammu and Kashmir

Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) has recently achieved remarkable success in maternal and child healthcare, positioning itself as a top-performing region in India.

These advancements are largely due to strengthened institutional delivery systems, better emergency care, and improved transport networks facilitated by the National Health Mission.

Major infrastructure projects are further bolstering this progress.

For instance, the new extension block at the Government Lalla Ded Hospital in Srinagar provides specialized infertility and oncology services using advanced seismic-resistant technology.

These strategic investments ensure that residents have equitable access to high-quality medical care without needing to travel outside the region.
