a year agoNot the best, but it has improved a lot from what it was 3 yrs ago, Centralized Ac's and most wall fans are functional now, Cleanliness is lot better now Cafe Coffee day canteen is inside premises, But i feel there's a need of hiring more doctors , as doctor patient ratio is quite low. Being one the highest refferal centre of the state , entire load of Jammu region is on this hospital. So more doctors need to be recruited for sure for proper and improved quality of service to the patients. Also parking space is not managed properly...need to provide more parking space and better management
