Jammu & Kashmir averages 0.58 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 9% of its beds are private.

How to choose a general physician

  1. Check the qualification: MBBS, with MD (General Medicine) or DNB for consultant physicians.
  2. Verify registration with the National Medical Commission (NMC) / your State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
  3. Ask what the consultation includes and whether tests, follow-ups and procedures are charged separately.
  4. Look for clear, itemised communication about costs; avoid anyone who guarantees a cure.
  5. Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
A general physician is usually the best first stop: they treat common conditions directly and refer you to the right specialist when needed.
