“Our dream is to ensure that poor and middle-class patients from Pimpri-Chinchwad and the surrounding rural areas do not have to depend on expensive private hospitals or travel to bigger cities for treatment. I sincerely thank the Hon’ble Health Minister for assuring Super Specialty status for Sangvi District Hospital. This will enable free and quality treatment for critical illnesses such as heart disease, kidney disorders, and neurological conditions. In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of an ‘Atmanirbhar and Healthy India,’ Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is committed to strengthening healthcare infrastructure across Maharashtra. We are equally committed to achieving this goal.”
