Privatisation of YCMH ambulance services on cards

The PCMC will reportedly invite proposals from private organisations for starting a blood bank, as there is no blood bank at the YCMH ever since it was started in 1991. Also on cards is reviving the proposal of the Ruby Hall Clinic for starting an Intensive Care Unit. The terms and conditions of the proposal are to be decided.

Meanwhile, even as a meeting was discussing the proposals for upgradation of facilities at YCMH on Thursday, a labourer working at the hospital drove away a hearse and later dashed a scooterist at Bhosari. Although the hearse has been traced, the labourer is absconding. The medical authorities have lodged a complaint against the labourer.
