Lt Gen Daljit Singh, the Director General of the Armed Forces Medical Services (DGAFMS), made a notable visit to the Military Hospital in Ayodhya on Friday.
The senior military official took the opportunity to engage with both the patients and staff of the hospital, advocating for the continuation of exemplary healthcare services to soldiers and their families.
The Military Hospital, situated in the historic Faizabad Cantonment area of Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, is vital in providing medical care to a community that includes approximately 10,000 civilians in addition to military personnel.
The facility is known for its dual role in serving both military and civilian populations, bolstering the health infrastructure in the region.
Ayodhya, designated as a category II Cantonment, has been administratively significant since its establishment in 1856.
The local Cantonment Board, composed of 14 members including 7 elected representatives, is responsible for overseeing the governance of the area. This includes ensuring the quality and accessibility of medical facilities.
In recent years, the healthcare landscape in Ayodhya has expanded with the introduction of the Hirdayram Multispeciality Hospital in 2022, further complementing the services provided by the Military Hospital. This development underscores the growing emphasis on healthcare excellence in the region, benefiting both military families and the civilian populace.
