Abstract

The present study is an exploration into the health care infrastructure in Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir. The study further analyzes the role and impact of National Heath Mission (NHM) in developing the health care infrastructure. The approach of the study is explorative-cum-analytical and makes use of primary-cum-secondary data sources. The findings of the study have revealed that there are huge modernized infrastructural gaps in the primary and secondary health care institutions of Budgam district. However, the NHM has taken a lead to modernize the health care infrastructure, but there are certain avenues that demand timely intervention and proper implementation of NHM. The challenges pertaining to online health services and round the clock services are the major challenges that health care institutions are facing. In this regard an inclusive and systematic approach for policy implementation should be focused upon.
