In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, residents of Kilshay and its adjoining villages in Gurez have complained of basic health facilities at the New Type Primary Health Centre (PHC). According to Kashmir Media Service, the residents talking to the media said that only single paramedical staff is posted there, which is telling of the smooth functioning of the health centre.
