To enable health services of Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) a special attention is being paid under the guidance of municipal commissioner Rajesh Narvekar and efforts are being made to raise the standard of health care. Public Hospitals Vashi, Nerul and Airoli of Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation play an important role in this.
In addition, the modern Neonatal Department at Rajmata Jijau Hospital Airoli has become a boon for newborns. Airoli area has a high proportion of economically weaker population and therefore the number of high risk maternal births is high. Therefore, it was an urgent need to start a neonatal department here.
