Bandipora, Jan 25: In a groundbreaking achievement, the District Hospital Bandipora performed its first-ever disimpaction surgery under the Ayushman Bharat-Sehat scheme, marking a significant milestone in the hospital’s history.
The surgery, conducted by Dr. Khalid Bashir Shah and assisted by Dental Technician Mohammad Ashraf, reflects the hospital’s growing capacity to deliver advanced medical procedures locally.
Medical Superintendent Dr. Masrat Iqbal Wani commended the Dental team for their dedication and expertise in executing the successful surgery. “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.
