SRINAGAR, JANUARY 01: Marking the first day of the New Year with a meaningful public welfare initiative, J&K Bank dedicated a ‘Heart Clinic on Wheels’ for the people of Jammu & Kashmir under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program.

Implemented by a not-for- profit organization Ummeed Foundation with nation wide presence, which has over a decade of experience in community healthcare and cardiac interventions, the project also includes training of community health workers, public awareness programmes on cardiac-health and the creation of a digital health registry to ensure follow-up and continuity of care.

He further said, “We are happy to have begun this year by making a tangible difference in people’s lives as every CSR initiative is guided by our commitment to the progress and well-being of people. Access to timely cardiac care can make the difference between life and loss, particularly in the geographically challenging regions of Jammu & Kashmir.
