Jammu and Kashmir Expands Cancer Screening and Treatment Amid 51,000 Patients
Jammu and Kashmir has nearly 51,000 cancer patients, with specialized care concentrated at two State Cancer Institutes in Jammu and Srinagar. The government is expanding community-level screening, including doorstep services, and strengthening treatment facilities. Breast, lung, gastrointestinal, and cervical cancers are significant concerns, with vaccination and screening programs underway. Eligible patients receive cashless treatment under Ayushman Bharat. The figures highlight challenges in providing timely care across the region's mountainous terrain, prompting efforts to improve early detection and referral.
