The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) who gave 17 acres of Marol’s land on lease to Seven-Hills Hospital, is now unable to pay its employees. Shiv Sena has demanded that the BMC should seize the hospital along with its equipment and should make it available to treat people who cannot afford expensive health-checkups.
SS MP Rahul wrote a letter to BMC Commissioner Ajoy Mehta requesting to look into Seven Hills Hospital. He added that initially, the hospital started with 1,500-bed facility but now has reduced to 300 beds and so the BMC should carry out an investigation.

In 2010, the BMC handed over 17 acres of its land which is close to the international airport land under public-private partnership. In 2013-14, the hospital declared that it suffered losses worth ₹150 Cr. The branch of this hospital is at Vishakhapatnam and is reeling under losses worth ₹1200 Cr. Result of which, doctors and employees working in the hospital have not received their dues since August-September 2017.
As this hospital is reeling under losses and is in a bad state, I feel that super-specialty services should be introduced which will benefit patients,” Rohini Kamble, Former health committee president.
Meanwhile, health committee president Archana Bhalerao has sent the letter to the BMC commissioner for an approval.
