NMMC hurrying up to make the new civic hospitals functional

By Dinesh Kamath

NAVI MUMBAI: Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation is in a hurry to make the hospitals in Nerul, Airoli and Belapur adquately equipped before the elections so that the chances of the ruling party in the civic body are not affected in the municipal elections that will soon take place. The civic body was quick enough to finish the construction of these three hospitals and even get them inaugurated. But when it came to equipping these hospitals with adequate amenities and staff, the civic body was found to be lagging behind.

Nerul civic hospital is the biggest of the three with 100 beds. But the hospital is still in need of adequate furnitures and medical gas pipeline system (MGPS). The hospital even requires sufficient medical equipments. NMMC is eager to make these hospitals function smoothly like Vashi civic hospital. The Nationalist Congress Party which is ruling in NMMC is applying pressure on NMMC authorities to make these hospitals functional before the forthcoming municipal elections. NMMC authorities are hurrying up to implement the orders of NCP leaders and make the hospital functional at the earliest.
