J&K government handout while confirming the development said the accredited institutions in the UT will now get two PG candidates in the certified stream every year. Till now, 39 Super


Specialty/ Broad Specialty courses have been approved by NBE which are likely to give 81 seats to the UT, which is over and above the DM/MCH and MD/MS courses already being run in the Jammu


& Kashmir. District Hospital, JLNM Srinagar gets accreditation in General Medicine and has been granted 2 seats for DNB by National Board of Examination. With this, the total seats


granted for District Hospitals of J&K are 8. Pertinent to mention, that District Hospital Gandhi Nagar was earlier allotted six seats in Anesthesia and Medicine, pursuant to which DNB


courses have been started in Gandhi Nagar Jammu. Recently, six specialties have been accredited by NBE in new GMCs with an approval of 12 seats. Besides, two seats have been granted by NBE


to new GMC Doda in the department of Pediatrics. With this, GMC Doda is accredited in the specialty of Anesthesia and Pediatrics with a total of four seats in both streams. New GMC Kathua

Hematology and Blood Transfusion departments, and SKIMS Srinagar has been granted accreditation in FNB Interventional Cardiology. Two seats have been approved in each of these accredited


departments. As per the J&K government handout, the DNB courses have been introduced in the District Hospitals and new Government Medical Colleges besides old GMCs and SKIMS in order to


strengthen the institutions, decongest the Government Medical Colleges and to address the shortage of specialists in the UT of J&K. “Under the dynamic leadership and concerted efforts of


Atal Dulloo, Additional Chief Secretary, H&ME Department and Yasin Choudhary, Mission Director, NHM, J&K, 08 District Hospitals and all GMCs/ SKIMS had applied for DNB courses to


NBE and a total of 129 applications were submitted by the institutions, out of which 26 applications of old GMCs/ SKIMS, 10 applications of new GMCs and 3 applications of DHs have been


approved by National Board of Examinations and a total of 81 seats have been granted to the accredited departments consequent to the concerted efforts and hard work of teams of the


institutions, ” it said. “Moreover, 31 more departments of DHs/ GMCs have been assessed by NBE and their accreditation is awaited, ” added the handout. It said that in order to meet the IPHS


norms of Government of India in DNB Districts, NHM J&K has got additional sanction of Staff Nurses for DNB institutions and currently 42 additional nurses have also been provided to


each District Hospital implementing DNB programme. Besides, additional beds along with the accessories and monitors have been provided to these District Hospitals by National Health Mission,


the government said. It said that Government of India has also approved establishment of eight-bedded Hybrid ICU in each DNB District Hospital. The government said that these measures are


“expected to drastically improve the health care services in the far flung districts and shall improve the services in the tertiary care institutions as well”. “This is also expected to


markedly bring down the referral from the far flung districts to the already overburdened tertiary care institutes of the UT of J&K”.
