PARAS Health Srinagar has introduced special privilege cards for members of the Rotary Club of Kashmir, artists, and journalists, aiming to enhance community engagement and provide accessible healthcare services. The initiative underscores the hospital’s commitment to forging strong institutional partnerships and recognising the contributions of key societal groups.
Healthcare Initiative Launched in Srinagar
Information was available with The Chenab Times that PARAS Health Srinagar launched its Privilege Cards on Sunday. The hospital hosted a special Rotary Club meeting to unveil the initiative, which seeks to strengthen its association with Rotarians, artists, and journalists who play vital roles in community development, social service, cultural enrichment, and public communication.
Dr Murtuza Habib, Associate Vice President and Facility Director at PARAS Health Srinagar, stated that the privilege card initiative is designed to extend the hospital’s healthcare outreach beyond conventional services. He emphasised that healthcare institutions bear a significant responsibility towards the communities they serve, advocating for healthcare to be accessible, inclusive, and supported by robust community partnerships.
“At PARAS, we believe that quality healthcare should be accessible, inclusive and supported by strong community partnerships,” Dr Habib said. “Through these privilege cards, we want to recognise the contribution of Rotarians, artists and journalists while building a meaningful association with people who work closely with society. Our endeavour is to make healthcare more approachable and strengthen the bond of trust between the institution and the community.”
Rotary Club Appreciates Initiative
Dr Tauseef Ahmad Bhat, President of the Rotary Club of Kashmir, lauded the initiative, describing it as an encouraging example of collaboration between healthcare institutions and community organisations for a greater social purpose. He highlighted Rotary’s core principle of “service above self” and the importance of community welfare.
“Rotary has always believed in service above self, with community welfare at the heart of its activities,” Dr Bhat remarked. “Initiatives like these create opportunities for meaningful collaboration between institutions and society. The association with PARAS Health Srinagar is a positive step towards bringing healthcare closer to people while encouraging greater engagement between the medical fraternity and community organisations. We appreciate PARAS for recognising the role of Rotarians, artists and journalists through this initiative.”
The meeting provided Rotarians with an opportunity to interact with the hospital’s leadership, gain insights into its healthcare services and facilities, and learn about ongoing initiatives. The programme concluded with a facility tour and lunch. This launch signifies PARAS Health Srinagar’s comprehensive strategy to build partnerships with various societal segments, acknowledging their contributions and fostering collaborative avenues in healthcare delivery.
