Bandipora, Jan 25: District Hospital Bandipora performed its first-ever disimpaction surgery under the Ayushman Bharat-Sehat scheme, marking a significant milestone in the hospital’s healthcare services, an official spokesperson said on Saturday.
The surgery was conducted by Dr. Khalid Bashir Shah and assisted by Dental Technician Mohammad Ashraf.
Spokesperson said Medical Superintendent Dr. Masrat Iqbal Wani commended the Dental team for their dedication and expertise in executing the successful surgery. He said the surgery reflects the hospital’s growing capacity to deliver advanced medical procedures locally.
“This is the first of its kind dental disimpaction surgery performed at our hospital. We are proud of our team and urge locals to utilize our enhanced healthcare services,” Dr. Wani stated.
He assured the public of the hospital’s commitment to providing accessible, high-quality medical care to the residents of Bandipora and surrounding areas.
