Mumbai civic chief Bhushan Gagrani on Sunday inaugurated the Sports Injury and Rehabilitation Centre at King Edward Memorial (KEM) Hospital in Parel, making it the first government hospital in the city to offer a dedicated, technology-driven treatment and rehabilitation facility for sportspersons.

The new centre, housed under a newly created independent sports medicine department, aims to provide comprehensive care for athletes suffering from sports-related injuries. It comprises a 20-bed ward and offers a wide range of treatment services—arthroscopy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, biophysics, sports psychology, and dietary support—under a single roof.
