With around 400 beds kept non-operational in PMC hospitals due to shortage of staff and facilities, patients are thronging the Sassoon General Hospital (SGH)
Pune Municipal Corporation will open a dialysis centre with 10 beds at Sundarabai Ganpat Raut Hospital in Kelewadi, Paud Road, with three more planned. The centres will be awarded to the agency providing dialysis at the lowest rate, with the chosen private player running the Raut Hospital centre for the next decade. The PMC will provide space, while the private player will supply machinery and manpower. The centres will be run on a public-private partnership basis, with 10 beds each, and will charge nominal rates for dialysis. The PMC has 12 dialysis centres in the city with four to 10 beds each.
