District Hospital, Kulgam has been given accreditation in General Medicine and has been granted two seats for Diplomate of National Board (DNB) by National Board of Examination and has become 3rd District Hospital to start DNB courses.

With this, the total seats granted for District Hospitals of J&K are 10.

Pertinently, earlier DH Gandhi Nagar had got six seats in Anesthesia and Medicine and JLNM Hospital Srinagar had got two seats in Medicine.

Mission Director, NHM, Yasin Choudhary while giving details about the development said that under DNB programme in UT, a total of 144 applications were submitted by various health institutions out of which 53 applications have been approved till date against which 124 seats have been granted to the accredited departments consequent to the concerted efforts of the administrative department H&ME J&K, NHM J&K and the team of health institutions being monitored by Vivek Bhardwaj, Additional Chief Secretary, Health and Medical Department, the press release said.

New GMCs have received the total approval of 33 seats (11 DNB and 22 Diploma seats).

New GMC Baramulla has received the sanction of 5 post-MBBS DNB  seats in General Medicine and 22 post-MBBS Diploma seats in the specialties of Family Medicine (4 seats), Anaesthesia (4 seats), Pediatrics (4 seats), Obs & Gynae. (4 seats), ENT (3 seats) and Ophthalmology (3 seats).

Additionally, GMC Srinagar has been granted two seats in Doctorate of National Board (DrNB) Critical Care Medicine and GMC Jammu has been granted two seats in DrNB Neurology.

Pertinent to mention that the DNB (Diplomate of National Board) courses have been introduced in the District Hospitals and new Govt. Medical Colleges besides old GMCs and SKIMS in order to strengthen the institutions, decongest the Govt. Medical Colleges and to address the shortage of specialists in the UT of J&K, the press release said.

Moreover, 35 more departments of DHs/GMCs have been assessed by NBEMS and their accreditation is awaited. The DNB courses are expected to drastically improve the health-care services in the far flung districts and 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.
