Srinagar: The SMHS Hospital in Srinagar continues to provide exemplary medical care despite an impressive daily influx of approximately 10,000 people, including patients, attendants, and visitors.

With a bed capacity of 890 across various wards, SMHS performs an average of 30 major and 60 minor procedures each day.

Sanitation and hygiene are top priorities at SMHS.

Key areas, including the Casualty and select wards covering 62,000 sq. feet, are also under outsourced maintenance for optimal upkeep.
Hospital authorities urge visitors, attendants, and staff to contribute to maintaining the facility’s cleanliness. They are asked to avoid littering, refrain from bringing polythene bags, and assist in upholding the hospital’s high standards of hygiene.
SMHS Hospital and other associated facilities under the Govt. Medical College Srinagar are committed to delivering quality healthcare with a strong emphasis on sanitation and cleanliness. The hospital appreciates the community’s cooperation in maintaining a clean and hygienic environment.
