Paramedics are the first medical rapid responders to an emergency situation in fact, they are well trained to handle a situation that can be traumatic, their responsibility also is to transport the patient to the hospital in a safe and efficient manner.
According to the standards laid down by the Pakistan Nursing Council AJ&K is far behind the desired targets, that ultimately affect the quality of healthcare services at secondary and tertiary levels. According to standards the number of nurses required for existing beds in AJK is more than 2000, whereas presently only 647 nurses are available in different hospitals of AJK.
