NOWSHERA: The Sub District Hospital (SDH) in Nowshera proudly announces a significant achievement in maternal healthcare services with the successful completion of six Cesarean sections in a single day. This remarkable milestone reflects the hospital's unwavering commitment to providing high-quality care to the community.

The procedures were conducted under the expert guidance of Director Health Services Jammu, Dr. Rakesh Magotra, and Chief Medical Officer Rajouri Dr. Manohar Lal Rana, and were supervised by Block Medical Officer, Dr. Iqbal Malik from Nowshera. This coordinated effort highlights the dedication of the healthcare professionals at SDH Nowshera to advancing maternal health services in the region.

The Cesarean sections were performed by a dedicated team of medical professionals, including Dr. Baba Singh (Gynaecologist), Dr. Wasim Chouhan (Anaesthetist), Pankaj Sharma (OT Technician), Koushal Sharma (OT Technician), Mohd Sadaq, Khampo Bala (FMPHW), and Sachin Bakshi (MTS). Their expertise and collaboration, supported by the entire SDH Nowshera staff, were instrumental in ensuring the success of these critical procedures.

Sub District Hospital, Nowshera serves a population of approximately 125,000, including many residents of border villages near the Line of Control (LOC). Given the challenges faced by this community, including limited access to healthcare facilities in Rajouri or Jammu, the hospital remains dedicated to providing comprehensive healthcare services, with a special focus on maternal and child health.

The team at SDH Nowshera, including Dr. Wasim Chouhan and others, continues to strive for excellence in patient care and support, ensuring that the people of Nowshera and surrounding areas receive the best possible medical attention.
