Misinterpretation of SKIMS order -Nodal officers :

SKIMS reiterates that all patients are equally important to us and any streamlining or triaging is done only on the basis of urgency of care needed. In no case it is the basis of any recommendation.

In an endeavour of streamlining patient flow, SKIMS recently inaugurated the Medical Social Welfare Cell with designated staff and nodal officers, among other initiatives.
This cell takes care of deserving and needy patients through ABPMJAY, RAN, Chief Ministers Cancer Treatment etc. The order in question was issued to facilitate the hassle free benefit of such schemes to poor and needy patients who approach Rajbhawan, Honble CM office and other higher offices for the scheme benefits.
Where does the question of VIP treatment come.

Much of the current public debate appears to stem from misinterpretation or sensationalised reporting. SKIMS remains committed to equitable care, ethical practice, and transparency, and urges the public to rely on factual information. Responsible discourse is essential to maintaining trust in healthcare institutions, and SKIMS will continue strengthening systems that benefit all patients—without fear or favour.

SKIMS Adds J&K’s First Super-Specialty DNB Cardiac Anesthesia Programme

Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) has introduced a new super-specialty programme—DNB Cardiac Anesthesiology—marking a significant academic milestone and further cementing its position as the premier centre for advanced medical care, education, and research in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir.

Trainees will receive hands-on exposure in:

Cardiothoracic operating theatres

Cardiac ICUs and high-dependency units

Advanced cardiac catheterisation labs

Interventional cardiology suites

Non-operating room cardiac procedures

The curriculum focuses on building expertise in hemodynamic management, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), perioperative cardiac optimization, mechanical circulatory support, and intensive postoperative care—competencies central to modern cardiac anesthesia practice.

On this occasion, Director SKIMS and Ex-Officio Secretary to the Government, Professor Mohammad Ashraf Ganie, extended heartfelt congratulations to the SKIMS University.He commended the collective determination in bringing this vital super-specialty to J&K, emphasizing that it will significantly enhance subspecialty cardiac care in the region.
