Sajjad Shaheen, MLA, has demanded an audit of all Government Medical Colleges (GMCs) in Jammu and Kashmir to stop the referral system to Jammu and Srinagar. This demand is aimed at addressing the long-standing issue of patient referrals from peripheral hospitals to tertiary care hospitals in the two capital cities. According to Shaheen, the referral system has led to an overwhelming burden on the healthcare infrastructure in Jammu and Srinagar.
