The healthcare infrastructure in Mirpur, a vibrant city in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, has been continually evolving to meet the growing healthcare needs of the region. In line with the commitment to provide quality healthcare services to the people of Mirpur and its surrounding areas, a significant expansion and upgradation project is underway. The upgradation of the 250-bed District Headquarter Hospital (DHQ) in Mirpur to a 500-bed Divisional Headquarter Hospital (DHH) is a pivotal phase in this endeavor, aimed at enhancing medical facilities and services.

Project Overview

Mirpur is a bustling city with a population that has been steadily increasing over the years. The existing 250-bed DHQ Hospital has been providing essential healthcare services to the region, but the demand for advanced healthcare facilities and specialized medical services has grown significantly. To meet this demand and improve healthcare accessibility, the Government of Azad Jammu and Kashmir has undertaken the ambitious Phase-2 upgradation project.

The primary objectives of the Upgradation of DHQ Hospital Mirpur to 500-bed DHH (Phase-2) project are as follows:

1. Capacity Expansion: To increase the hospital’s bed capacity from 250 to 500, accommodating a larger number of patients and ensuring timely medical attention.

2. Enhanced Infrastructure: To construct state-of-the-art buildings and facilities, including modern patient wards, operation theaters, intensive care units, diagnostic labs, and administrative offices.

3. Specialized Services: To introduce specialized medical departments such as cardiology, neurology, oncology, and orthopedics to provide comprehensive healthcare services.

4. Advanced Medical Equipment: To equip the hospital with the latest medical technology and equipment for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

5. Quality Healthcare: To maintain high standards of patient care, ensuring that every patient receives the best possible medical attention and treatment.

The upgradation of DHQ Hospital Mirpur to a 500-bed Divisional Headquarter Hospital in Phase-2 signifies a significant step towards achieving comprehensive and accessible healthcare services in Mirpur and its surrounding regions. This project will not only address the growing healthcare demands but also contribute to the overall well-being and prosperity of the community. It is a testament to the government’s commitment to the health and welfare of its citizens, reflecting a brighter and healthier future for all.
