Thane’s Civil Hospital’s building will be demolished to make way for a new super-speciality hospital with 574 beds. Meanwhile, the medical staff will be shifted to Mulund’s ESIC Hospital whose building’s repair work will begin in three months. State health minister Dr. Deepak Sawant replied to a question asked by Shiv Sena’s MLA Ravindra Phatak in Maharashtra assembly.
Sawant added that the permission to build a 574-bedded hospital is in progress and approximately the state will invest ₹167.55 Cr for the same.
