The two Wadia Hospital at Parel — Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children and Nowrosjee Wadia Maternity — are in the eye of a storm after corporators across parties have demanded immediate release of an outstanding amount of '98 crore to the facilities, on the verge of closure. However, at a standing committee meeting, they also said that as the hospital has not been functioning well, the next grant would be decided after a review of its condition.

There is concern across the board as the BMC bears 75 per cent of the hospital's operational cost, which is paid to them every three months.
