On the night of 14th August, as celebrations for Independence Day began, tragedy struck Kishtwar—but hope arrived in the form of GMC Jammu. Within minutes of receiving 66 critical patients, the medical team sprang into action, performing 25 major surgeries overnight. From ventilator support to complex trauma care, every department worked in perfect coordination. Under the leadership of senior doctors and GMC administration, no life was lost due to negligence.
One emotional transformation was captured in the journey of a young victim—battered and dust-covered on arrival, but safe and smiling at discharge. GMC staff not only healed wounds but also restored dignity, offering clean clothes, emotional support, and hope.
The swift, compassionate response of GMC Jammu drew praise from PGI Chandigarh and stands as a model of excellence in emergency care. Doctors, nurses, and support staff are the true heroes—saving lives, rebuilding faith, and embodying service beyond duty.
