The Shiv Sena’s (UBT) Aaditya Thackeray flagged a series of lapses regarding the BMC’s health administration, including a lack of essential medical supplies, adequate infrastructure, and shortage of doctors, in a post on X on Tuesday. He claimed civic-run hospitals are in bad shape and some are running out of medicines. He also alleged promotions of doctors have been stalled for a year and many posts are lying vacant in BMC hospitals.

“For example, take Sion Hospital. While the doctors and staff are working tirelessly to support the services, I have been told that the hospital is running out of basic medicines, medical gloves, and X-Ray film stock. Yet, the BMC administration has not fully supported it,” he stated in the post.
