After receiving minimal responses for an alternative ready-to-move facility for Vikhroli’s Krantiveer Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Hospital, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has, for the third time, issued a tender for the same purpose.
A BMC medical officer said, “We previously issued an expression of interest, but received only one response from Shushrusha hospital. Unfortunately, in the current tender issuance, we haven`t received any response, not even from them.” This marks the first occasion, following an initial tender in August, that the BMC is contemplating the operation of a hospital through rented facilities. The decision stemmed from a hunger strike staged by Vikhroli residents earlier this year, demanding improved hospital facilities in their area, as the Jyotiba Phule hospital had been closed due to its deteriorating condition in 2018.
