Udhampur, Jammu – In a significant achievement, Government Medical College (GMC) Udhampur has once again demonstrated its commitment to providing high-quality healthcare services by successfully performing a total knee replacement surgery on a 65-year-old female patient from Chenani, suffering from advanced osteoarthritis. This operation was conducted by an expert team of doctors at GMC Udhampur and was provided completely free of cost under the Ayushman Bharat Scheme.
The patient, who had previously consulted multiple government and private hospitals in Jammu and beyond, faced repeated refusals for surgery due to her complex medical history. After a thorough evaluation, the dedicated medical team at GMC Udhampur, led by renowned orthopedic specialists Dr. Nikhil Gupta and Dr. Vinit Gupta, accepted the challenge and provided the necessary surgical intervention.
The successful surgery marks a new chapter in the patient’s life, offering her the hope of improved mobility and quality of life after years of suffering. The Ayushman Bharat Scheme, aimed at providing affordable healthcare to vulnerable populations, has made this procedure accessible to those who might otherwise be unable to afford it.
“This achievement is a testament to the skill and dedication of our medical team at GMC Udhampur,” said Dr. Nikhil Gupta. “We are proud to serve our community and provide care to those in need, regardless of their financial circumstances.”
The administration of GMC Udhampur continues to work towards enhancing healthcare facilities and ensuring that patients receive the best possible treatment, reinforcing its position as a leading medical institution in the region.
