Brigadier Yashvir Mathur has officially taken the reins as the Commandant of Military Hospital Prayagraj, following his promotion on April 28, 2025. This announcement, made by the office of the Director General Armed Forces Medical Services (DGAFMS), saw Surgeon Vice Admiral Arti Sarin extending her congratulations, expressing her best wishes for his new leadership role.
The Military Hospital in Prayagraj plays a crucial role within the HQ Purva UP & MP Sub Area, delivering essential healthcare services to military personnel and their families in the region. Its reputation for excellence was particularly notable during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when the hospital swiftly mobilized resources and formed a core emergency response team to effectively manage the health crisis.
Surgeon Vice Admiral Arti Sarin, who made history as the first woman to hold the DGAFMS position since her appointment in October 2024, recognized Brigadier Mathur’s professional commitment and leadership abilities. She underscored that this appointment is a significant milestone in both maintaining and enhancing the quality of medical services provided by the Armed Forces.
This leadership transition is indicative of the Armed Forces Medical Services’ ongoing dedication to strengthening healthcare infrastructure and ensuring that those who serve the nation receive top-quality medical care.
