People rue lack of basic facilities at NTPHC Sarmarg, demand 247 services

Kupwara, Jul 29: Nestled in the foothills of Bangus Valley, the residents of Sarmarg were hopeful of improved healthcare after their health facility was upgraded to a New Type Primary Health Centre (NTPHC) but even after seven years, it continues to lack the most basic infrastructure and services causing immense hardships for the locals. The upgradation had initially raised hopes of better healthcare access for over a dozen villages but nothing has changed during last seven years. Following upgradation of our hospital to NTPHC, we were told that residents will get a fully equipped centre with adequate staff and services but the centre continues to operate from a two room old building, putting both patients and staff at risk, a local told Greater Kashmir . Although a doctor was posted here a year ago but without proper support and facilities, the presence of a single doctor has not made much difference. Our hospital still lacks diagnostic facilities and medical staff, forcing patients to visit Associated District Hospital GMC Handwara by travelling over 25 KMs for treatment, he added. The hospital also doesnt have an ambulance forcing us to hire private cabs to carry patients to other hospitals, Bilal Rasheed, a youth from the village told this correspondent. Administrative confusion also add to the woes of locals here. The locals said that, despite being geographically part of Rajwar and under Zachaldara tehsil, Sarmarg has been placed under Medical Block Ramhall, which has no direct road connectivity with the village. We have time and again requested that our village be realigned with Medical Block Rajwar, so that we are not left out but after numerous representations to the concerned authorities, nothing has changed, they added. Residents have demanded that the health facility be made operational 247 with full staff and infrastructure, including an ambulance and diagnostic services. They urged the concerned authorities to take immediate action to address the long-pending issues and make the NTPHC fully functional in the true sense. Block Medical Officer (BMO) Vilgam, Ghulam Raheem, told Greater Kashmir that only local representative can allocate funds for construction of new building for NTPHC Sarmarg. Regarding round the clock services at NTPHC Sarmarg, he said that the discretion of making it operational 24*7 lies with higher officials. Meanwhile Peoples Conference Chairman and MLA Handwara Sajad Gani Lone when contacted said that the present dispensation has miserably failed to provide better healthcare facilities for the people living in rural areas. Not only people of Sarmarg are suffering, Sub District Hospital (SDH) Kralpora is facing the same human resource crunch putting people to severe hardships, he said adding that he will take up the issue of NTPHC Sarmarg with the Health Department.

Quote of the day by Mother Teresa, 'If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one' shows timeless powerful inspiring motivational life lesson that one act of kindness can change the world

Quote of the day by Mother Teresa is far more than an inspiring quotation it is a practical guide for living with empathy. The world may never be changed by one dramatic action alone. Instead, it is shaped every day by countless ordinary people choosing to care for someone else. Whether through sharing food, offering encouragement, donating time, or extending kindness to a stranger, each action contributes to a more compassionate society. Mother Teresa's message reminds us that we do not need extraordinary wealth, influence, or power to improve the world. We simply need the willingness to help the person standing in front of us today. And sometimes, changing one life is the beginning of changing many more.
