Border Areas (J&K)

The Telemedicine & Critical Care Services project, conceived and led by Ajaz Rashid under the No Heart Attack Mission 2025, is a pioneering public-private-social partnership bringing advanced healthcare to remote border populations of Jammu & Kashmir, particularly the Machil Sector (Kupwara) and Jagti Township (Nagrota). Implemented by him for Ummeed Foundation with CSR funding of ₹35.96 lakh from Indian Oil Corporation Limited and support from the Indian Army’s 56 RR Maratha LI, alongside Gauri Kaul Foundation, the project has established two fully equipped Smart Telemedicine Units and a Critical Care Ambulance integrated with the MedOnGo Smart Health Grid. This digital healthcare ecosystem enables real-time specialist consultations, tele-cardiology, diagnostics, automated medicine dispensing, and emergency response, available for over 45,000 beneficiaries in otherwise inaccessible, high-risk border areas. By leveraging IoT-enabled devices, trained local health staff, and seamless Army–civil collaboration, the initiative not only addresses cardiac emergencies but also builds a scalable, sustainable model for last-mile healthcare delivery in challenging terrains across India.
