The Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Shri Omar Abdullah, inaugurated the National Conference on Patient Safety at the Sher-i-Kashmir International Conference Centre (SKICC) in Srinagar region today.
The conference, organised by the Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS), was held under the theme: “Every Error a Lesson, Every Lesson a Safer Care.”
Addressing the gathering, Shri Abdullah highlighted the importance of integrating patient care and patient safety to strengthen healthcare delivery, and urged actionable outcomes to enhance safety standards across hospitals in J&K region.
“Through this conference, I hope actionable points emerge which the government can adopt in both major and smaller hospitals, ensuring that patient safety becomes as much a focus as patient care,” Shri Abdullah said.
The Minister of Health and Media Education, Ms Sakina Itoo, lauded SKIMS as a premier medical institution envisioned by Sher-i-Kashmir Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah.
Ms Itoo said, “We must remain eternally grateful to Sher-i-Kashmir and his team for establishing SKIMS. The government under Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is committed to strengthening our health institutions by providing modern equipment and facilities so that people need not travel outside J&K for treatment.”
The event was attended by several notable dignitaries including Minister for Health and Medical Education Ms Sakina Itoo, Advisor to the chief minister Nasir Aslam Wani, concerned MLAs, and other government officials.
