    This document discusses the establishment of emergency rooms in remote areas of Jammu, India to improve access to emergency healthcare. It notes that previously, district and sub-district hospitals were overburdened due to the lack of emergency rooms in primary healthcare centers and community health centers. A new initiative called "Save Life Jammu" established emergency rooms, starting with 35 out of 46 planned rooms set up by mid-February. This reduced patient referrals by 40% and improved outcomes, with over 700 serious patients stabilized in the new emergency rooms. The initiative trained local medical staff and established a pool of emergency management trainers.
