Good News for the People of Chenab Valley
The Government of India has announced the establishment of a Cancer Diagnostics Laboratory at Government Medical College Doda, which will provide free diagnostic facilities to the people of Chenab Valley.
The laboratory, popularly known as the DIAMOnDS Laboratory (DHR-ICMR-Advanced Molecular Oncological Diagnostic Services), will offer free tests related to Lung and Breast Cancer. These tests usually cost between ₹14,000 and ₹60,000, but patients will now be able to avail them free of cost.
This important initiative became possible through the dedicated efforts of award-winning journalist Amir Tantray along with the support and efforts of Atal Dulloo.
We sincerely thank everyone involved for their tireless efforts in bringing such an important healthcare facility to our district.
On behalf of Team Furqan Welfare Trust, we express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who contributed to making this initiative a reality for the welfare of the people of Chenab Valley.
