Lohegaon Gets New Sub-District Hospital, Boosting Care

The 100-bed sub-district hospital in Lohegaon, Pune, is now operational, enhancing healthcare services for local communities. This new facility is equipped with crucial medical technologies including X-ray, sonography, and CT scan machines, alongside delivery and surgical services and a 10-bed intensive care unit. It is poised to benefit residents of Lohegaon and surrounding areas by providing essential medical care closer to home.

This inauguration is a key component of Maharashtra's 'Aarogya Samvad Yatra.' The state public health department is preparing to launch around 125 health institutions from November 1 to December 5 across various regions, including Pune, Nagpur, and Nashik. These new facilities encompass a range of healthcare points, from sub-centres to rural and sub-district hospitals, signifying a major expansion of public health infrastructure. This initiative follows the successful launch of 124 health institutions on August 15, 2026, with further expansion planned.

Health Minister Prakash Abitkar has overseen preparations, ensuring that staff, equipment, and infrastructure are in place. The government emphasizes its commitment to bringing quality healthcare to all citizens, aligning with the goal of accessible and comprehensive health services across the state.
