Jammu, Aug 16 (PTI) The Government Medical College (GMC) and Hospital, one of the premier health institutions in Jammu and Kashmir, took the lead in dealing with the medical crisis arising out of the deadly cloudburst in Kishtwar, performing 25 major surgeries on critically-injured persons to save precious lives, officials said. The disaster struck Chishoti — the last motorable village en route the Machail Mata temple — at around 12:30 pm on August 14, leaving 60 persons dead and over 100 injured. So far, 82 people — 81 pilgrims and one from the CISF — are reported missing after the cloudburst-induced flash floods hit the village. 'On the night of August 14, when every Indian was preparing to celebrate the 79th Independence Day, a team of medical professionals at GMC Jammu was waiting to receive a horde of ambulances arriving from Kishtwar, carrying unfortunate victims who suffered not only physical but also mental injuries following a natural disaster of paramount proportions,' Gupta said. As soon as ambulance sirens began sounding in the emergency block, the team swung into action, he said. 'Without losing any time, porters and helpers took the patient trolleys to the triage room, where medical teams immediately started providing treatment. There was no time to lose and split-second decisions were taken,' he said. The critically-ill patients were put on ventilators, and those requiring emergency surgeries were shifted to the operation theatres, Gupta said. The nursing staff also provided excellent care, acting like sisters, mothers, and friends to those who suffered mental and physical trauma, he added.

National Medical Register is no more mandatory
NEW DELHI: The government's ambitious National Medical Register (NMR), launched last year with the aim of creating a centralised and dynamic database of modern medicine practitioners in the country, has failed to take off. Less than a year after it was made mandatory, the Union Health Ministry has quietly rolled back the requirement, declaring registration as voluntary. The NMR portal, launched on August 23, 2024, by Union health minister J P Nadda, was billed as a big leap to ensure transparency and verification in India's medical workforce. This paper on May 1 was the first to report that the NMR portal was largely unsuccessful in registering modern medicine practitioners. Less than one per cent of doctors had enrolled on the platform by May. In a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha by Samajwadi Party MP Aditya Yadav, MoS (Health) Anupriya Patel confirmed on August 8 that NMR registration was no longer mandatory. 'The application for issuance of NMR is voluntary,' she stated in had posed his question based on a report published in this newspaper earlier this year, which highlighted the poor response to the registration drive. As per an RTI reply received by Kerala-based ophthalmologist and RTI activist Dr K V Babu, only 996 doctors had registered on the NMR portal as of August 8 — of over 13 lakh doctors in India.'This move is welcome. But it does not absolve National Medical Commission (NMC) of its failure,' Dr Babu said.
