The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Wednesday launched a dedicated gastroenterology outpatient department (OPD) at Dr RN Cooper Hospital in Vile Parle, aiming to enhance specialised care for liver, stomach, and intestinal disorders in the city’s western suburbs.

With this launch, Cooper Hospital becomes the first BMC-run facility in both eastern and western suburbs of Mumbai to offer specialised gastroenterology services.
