Healthcare

Kargil is served primarily by the **District Hospital Kargil** (located in Kurbathang), which acts as the central healthcare facility for the region. It offers emergency services, maternity care, diagnostics, and general surgery. There are also smaller Primary Health Centers (PHCs) and Community Health Centers (CHCs) scattered across the district's rural areas to provide basic medical aid. A network of private pharmacies operates in the main bazaar. Furthermore, the Indian Army maintains medical facilities in the region, which often assist civilians during severe medical emergencies or natural disasters.
