CONCEPT

This cardiac care initiative was conceived during a 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 60 hospitals across Kashmir and beyond.

This initiative was conceptualised by;

1. Dr. Imran Hafiz Asst Professor Cardiology SKIMS Soura Srinagar
2. Dr. Nasir Shamas Consultant Physician JK Health Services Kashmir
3. Dr. Muzafar Zargar Physician Specialist JK Health Services Kashmir

A significant role in providing pivotal support and broaden the outreach of this initiative was provided by;

4. Dr. Irfan Bhat Consultant Cardiologist SMHS Hospital Srinagar
5. Dr. Masood Rashid Consultant Anaesthetist JK Health Services Kashmir
