Summary:
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will pump in Rs 400 crore to upgrade Mulund’s M T Agarwal Hospital into a super-specialty hospital. AdvertisingA proposal to upgrade facilities at M T Agarwal Hospital will be tabled before a standing committee for its approval Wednesday, sources said. Moreover, super-specialty facilities like neurosurgery, cardiology and cardiovascular surgery, and joint and hip transplant will also be upgraded at Agarwal Hospital,” a BMC official said. So far, none of the hospitals run by the civic body in the eastern suburbs have MRI facilities. The move is likely to benefit around 12 lakh patients, especially in eastern Mumbai, and reduce pressure on the city’s three largest civic hospitals — Sion, Nair and KEM Hospitals..
