The Maharashtra government had directed CIDCO to set up dedicated Covid health centers in the Mumbai metropolitan region to treat more patients during the second wave of Covid in 2021. Accordingly, within a short period of time, CIDCO set up a Covid health center at Cotton Corporation's godown at Kalamboli, Navi Mumbai along with Kanjurmarg and Mulund in Mumbai. These 635 bedded health centers at Kalamboli were provided with medical equipment, CCTV system, PA system, IT, fire fighting system, oxygen cylinder, oxygen storage tanks etc. For setting up this centre, INR 29.79 crore along with consultancy fee was spent by CIDCO.
After handing over the centre to PMC, this centre was inaugurated on October 08, 2021 and its operation was started by PMC. The centre was later closed by the PMC on February 09, 2023 after a steady decline in the number of COVID patients. After this, CIDCO has decided to transfer medical material costing about INR 80 lakhs to PMC free of cost.
