In the last week of September, the Jammu and Kashmir government threw open a state-of-the-art children hospital at Bemina Srinagar.

New hospital is laced with modern technology, expanded infrastructure an upgraded double from the previous one. It is 500 bedded hospital and will be catering the requirements of entire Kashmir valley. The hospital is completed after failing to meet so many deadlines. It was long back when Omar Abdullah in 2014 proposed the Bemina location for the construction of Children hospital following the public demand. At Sonawar, the hospital was not capable enough to meet the ever-soaring public pressure with limited infrastructure and technology in place.

Since being it easily accessible for all, the Hospital may face massive public pressure
