New Delhi: The National Board of Examinations (NBE) has given accreditation to Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial (JLNM) Hospital in Srinagar, J&K for Diplomate of National Board (DNB) courses in three different specialties. These specialities are Ophthalmology, Anaesthesia and Paediatrics.
With this decision, PG medical aspirants in Jammu & Kashmir will get the opportunity to upgrade their skills with programmes of the National Board of Examinations (NBE).

Talking about this accomplishment Dr. Bilquis, the Resident Medical officer of JLNM Hospital said, “NBE accreditation has helped us in a way that our hospital will now have PG students. Earlier too, the hospital was working 24×7 but we used to face problems finding doctors after 4 PM. But as the hospital has now become a post-graduate institute, PG students will be there every time along with our doctors."
"This will also be beneficial in another way as under NBE norms; our hospital will now be given two senior residents in each department in NHM (National Health Mission), which will result in addition of more manpower. With the start of these postgraduate courses, a significant improvement will be witnessed in inpatient care delivery,” she further added.

Director of Health Services Kashmir, Dr Mushtaq Ahmad said, “We have applied for almost all district hospitals and in the coming future each hospital will become an academic hub. They will become training institutions as good as medical colleges which will take our health system to unimaginable heights. This will be the beginning of a robust tertiary level health system in each district of the state.”
To address the shortage of specialists in Jammu & Kashmir, and strengthen the medical institutions, these DNB courses have been introduced in new and old Govt. medical colleges, District Hospitals and Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS).
