Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Narayana Superspecialty Hospital in Katra has achieved a significant milestone by successfully performing over 100 knee and hip replacement surgeries in the Rajouri-Poonch region of Jammu and Kashmir under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. This initiative, spearheaded by Dr. Vikas Padha, the senior joint replacement surgeon, focuses on outreach healthcare to assist economically weaker patients in remote areas. Many patients, previously confined to their homes due to debilitating knee and hip conditions, were identified and treated through monthly outreach clinics established in the twin border districts. Dr. Padha acknowledged the crucial role of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board in facilitating this outreach, stating that the board's commitment to patient welfare has significantly improved access to advanced healthcare services for underserved populations. Dr. Yashpal Sharma, executive director of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence, highlighted that these surgeries reflect the transformative power of outreach healthcare. To commemorate this achievement, a short film showcasing the inspiring journeys of the patients was presented at the celebration event in Rajouri.
