The Government on Wednesday asked principals of Government Medical Colleges and Director Health Service J&K to ensure the faculty members and consultants of the concerned specialties make an evening round of their respective wards.

“It is impressed upon all the principals of Government Medical Colleges (New/old) and Director Health Service J&K that in order to improve the patient care service in the Government hospitals with the indoor services, the Faculty members/consultants of the concerned specialties shall make an evening round of their respective wards, as per the duty roster.
