Overview
The Health Department of Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJ&K)
is dedicated to safeguarding and improving the health and well-being of
communities across the region. From the snow-capped mountains of the Himalayas
to the valleys and plains, we strive to ensure that quality healthcare services
are accessible to all.
Through a comprehensive network of hospitals, clinics, and
primary healthcare centers, we deliver essential medical services that address
a wide range of health needs. Our efforts are driven by a committed workforce
of doctors, nurses, technicians, and support staff who work with compassion,
professionalism, and a strong sense of public service.
But our work extends beyond the walls of healthcare
facilities. We recognize that true health is not just the absence of disease
but also the presence of physical, mental, and social well-being. That’s why we
actively engage with communities, promoting health education, disease
prevention, and healthy lifestyle choices through awareness campaigns, workshops,
and outreach events.
In partnership with government agencies, NGOs, and local
stakeholders, we strive to address the underlying determinants of health,
tackling issues such as poverty, sanitation, nutrition, and access to clean
water. By fostering collaboration and collective action, we aim to create
environments that support health and empower individuals to lead fulfilling
lives.
