The GMC Jammu is the major hospital in Jammu, where patients use to be referred from other regions of the division for the advance treatment, but lack of facilities at the hospital forces poor people to visit private clinics, the report said.

The LG sir should take cognizance of this matter as patients are suffering at GMC on daily basis, he should direct hospital authorities to install more machines for public welfare, the report said.
