During a review meeting in Mumbai, Maharashtra's Public Health Minister Prakash Abitkar directed officials to fast-track the completion of the Lohgaon sub-district hospital. The minister emphasized that the facility should be ready for inauguration within a month. With the region's population rapidly increasing and future infrastructure projects like airport expansions and a proposed ring road, there is a demand to expand the hospital's capacity to 200 beds. Abitkar instructed officials to include this expansion in the hospital's master plan. Additionally, MLA Bapusaheb Pathare proposed naming the hospital after saint Sant Tukaram Maharaj, and Abitkar has asked for a formal proposal to be submitted after obtaining approval from the chief minister. The minister also ordered an on-site inspection of the hospital and the nearby regional mental hospital in Yerawada to expedite all pending construction work, including the removal of encroachments and plantation drives. The government aims to ensure accessible healthcare for residents of Lohgaon and surrounding areas.
