premier hospital Government Medical College and Hospital are paying politics on
the tiny issues and leaving no stone unturned to demoralize headworkers, doctor

the successive governments as well as health Ministry viz the matter of doctors
and patients ration was never redressal, never fix the responsibilities of
Civil and Mechanical wings of the GMC&H, shortage of the equipments in the
premier hospital and staff which is catering the rush of ten districts,”
doctors stated.

available in the hospitals for last many months and repeated reminders were
made to Health Ministry and Jammu and Kashmir Medical Supplies Cooperation
Limited (JKMSCL) to provide the basic drug to the hospital but nothings has
been received expect assurances. “Due to unavailability of drugs and others,
the treating doctors are being subjected to face the anger of poor patients.”
“The GMC&H Jammu has been termed politics hub where
doctors were playing politics over the various tiny issue by leaving their
work. Some of close aid of the incumbent Principal of the institute are not
only interfering in the affairs of the hospital but also running other affairs

doctors before VVIPs and political leaders,” they also alleged.
