The Government of India has allocated 275 AI-enabled Portable Handheld X-Ray Machines, 9 MRI (1.5 Tesla) Units and 4 Digital Mammography Units to the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir under the Prime Minister's Fund. A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and the Government of Jammu & Kashmir for implementation. The equipment will be installed in identified Government health institutions to strengthen diagnostic services, improve early disease detection, enhance breast cancer screening and support AI-enabled tuberculosis screening. Procurement, installation and commissioning will be undertaken by the Government of India, with supplies expected to commence in the coming months. The Health & Medical Education Department will ensure site readiness and operationalization. Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo has been monitoring health sector reform initiatives. The initiative is expected to enhance diagnostic capacity, reduce patient referrals, and improve healthcare outcomes.
