Sopore, Oct 18 (JKNS): In a major relief for residents of Rafiabad, the Primary Health Centre (PHC) Dangiwacha has started Sunday laboratory services, ensuring better access to essential medical testing for the local community.
As per news agency JKNS, the new service, operating every Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., was introduced under the supervision of Block Medical Officer (BMO) Dr. Irfan Ahmad Zargar.

“All kinds of lab tests including CBC, KFT, LFT, urine examination, and Troponin-T will now be available on Sundays,” said Dr. Zargar. “Our aim is to make healthcare more accessible and dependable for the people of Rafiabad, Dangiwacha, and adjoining areas.”
