Mumbai's KEM Hospital Faces Lift Issues; New Elevator Promised Within 30 Days
A viral video showing a 78-year-old patient struggling to use stairs at Mumbai's KEM Hospital due to non-functional lifts has sparked criticism of the civic administration. The hospital has 11 lifts, with five replaced in 2022 and six currently being replaced. Deputy Mayor Sanjay Ghadi assured a new lift will be operational within 30 days and plans to add two more. Officials cited aging infrastructure and high lift usage as challenges, while corporators called for better maintenance and accountability.
