Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on Wednesday sanctioned Rs one crore out of Chief Minister Relief Fund to the Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) for procuring state-of-the-art equipment in critical medicare areas. "SKIMS has become a referral centre for the state and I sincerely desire to see it evolve into a world class institute in the field of advanced and specialised medical care," Azad said addressing the 25th annual day of the institute, coinciding with the birthday of its founder Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah.
Azad said he would like this institute to emerge as 'island of excellence' providing an intellectual milieu where the young scientists from multiple disciplines of medicine while rendering human services to the sick could realise their creative ability through need-based research and post graduate medical education."We should sit down and identify such gray areas which need our utmost attention, lay down a road map to achieve it and then initiate action in right earnest to address the problems one-by-one in a planned way," Azad said.
