Jammu – November 13, 2026: In a notable executive reassignment aimed at strengthening tertiary medical administration in the Chenab Valley, the Health and Medical Education Department has entrusted Professor (Dr.) Harleen Kaur with the formal charge of Principal at Government Medical College (GMC) Doda.
Dr. Kaur, a veteran medical academician and former head of the Department of Microbiology at Government Medical College Jammu, steps into the apex leadership role following the superannuation and transfer adjustments of the outgoing administration. GMC Doda stands as a crucial healthcare lifeline, serving mountainous rural populations across Doda, Kishtwar, and Ramban districts.
Upon assuming charge, Dr. Kaur outlined an ambitious administrative roadmap focusing on overcoming clinical faculty deficits, accelerating the operational rollout of specialized super-specialty outpatient clinics, upgrading modern diagnostic pathology laboratories, and enhancing emergency trauma care along the accident-prone Batote-Kishtwar highway corridor.
Medical students, resident doctors, and civil society representatives in Doda have welcomed the appointment, expressing optimism that experienced leadership from the region’s premier medical institution will enhance medical education standards and patient care delivery throughout the Chenab basin.
