Save Heart Kashmir

Save Heart Initiative

This cardiac care initiative was conceived during discussion to tackle emerging health care challanges in conflict zones like Kashmir. To overcome the shortage of Cardiac Experts and Consultants in our hospitals, it was decided to create a social network of doctors to help them manage Acute Myocardial infarctions at district and sub district hospitals across the state, and also create awareness and confidence in doctors who are on duties in about 100 hospitals across Kashmir and beyond.
