Repair and renovation works worth crores of rupees will soon be undertaken at Sir J J Group of Hospitals. The move comes just a month after the Maharashtra State Association of Resident Doctors (MARD) raised concerns about the poor condition of facilities at some hospitals across the state. Sir J J Group of Hospitals comprises four state-run hospitals—Sir J J Hospital, St. George’s Hospital, Gokuldas Tejpal Hospital, and Cama & Albless Hospital. 

Some of the major work in the recently floated tender pertains to a comprehensive revamp of the medicine department at Sir J J Hospital at an estimated cost of Rs 60,42,286. Additionally, there will also be repair and maintenance work carried out for student hostels and nurses’ quarters, as well as resident medical officer quarters at the hospital.
