Air Marshal Rajesh Vaidya, Director General Medical Services (Air) (#DGMSAir), visited the 92 Base Hospital at Badami Bagh Cantonment, Srinagar, a vital medical facility for the Armed Forces and the local population.
During his visit, Air Marshal Vaidya interacted with the hospital staff, praising their unwavering dedication and encouraging them to continue maintaining high standards in medical care for Armed Forces personnel, their dependents, and veterans.
The Air Marshal also commended the staff for their efficient execution of the Trauma Drill at the Trauma Care Centre, highlighting the hospital’s preparedness in handling emergencies and complex medical situations.
He acknowledged the team’s significant efforts in aligning with the broader vision of “Vikshit Bharat” (Developed India), reflecting the Armed Forces’ commitment to nation-building and holistic development.
The 92 Base Hospital, with its 598-bed capacity, serves as a multi-specialty facility offering a range of services such as ENT, Ophthalmology, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Pediatrics, and Gynecology.
Located in the Badami Bagh Cantonment area, it plays a critical role in providing healthcare not only to military personnel but also to civilians in the Kashmir Valley. Often referred to as the “lifeline” for security forces in the region, the hospital’s importance is heightened by the challenging operational environment in Jammu and Kashmir.
Air Marshal Vaidya’s visit reaffirmed the Indian Air Force’s focus on the well-being of its personnel, and his words of encouragement further boosted the morale of the hospital staff, who continue to provide essential healthcare services under demanding conditions.
