The above mentioned project was prepared after consulting with various departments and the faculty members in Kashmir. Not to forget our consultants here in US and UK. As we all are know it is very essential to prioritize and focus on acute and critical care needs at present.

The budget situation is given above and the need for completing the project is portrayed. Our goal is to provide them with all the said facilities.

To add on to our recent update about our project in last six months, Children of Kashmir donated a defibrillator/monitor which is currently being used in Emergency Room of SKIMS. It will make a significant impact in monitoring critical patients in ER as there is none in this facility.

We would also like to say special thanks to those Non-Kashmiris who have generously donated for this noble cause. May Allah reward them.

Our special thanks to Dr Faroque Khan (AFK Foundation), Dr Parvaiz Kaul (Department of Medicine), Dr Ghulam Saydain (Pulmonary & Critical Care),Dr Sami Beg ( Health Policy/Registration),Mr Hilal Shora & Mr Syed Tahir Qadri( Registration) Mr Jehangir Ali( new member recruitment and registration), and Mr Haroon Rashid Shah ( Web Management and networking Support).

Finally we dedicate this project to all the Kashmiris who have a vision for a modern Kashmir.

Please mail your checks to the appropriate sources around you or contact us at our email address.

Any suggestions, comments and criticism, are all welcome as they help us grow.

Wasalam
