Pune Revives Shuttered Hospitals to Boost Healthcare Access

According to a recent report, as of November 14, 2025, Pune is taking steps to revive several civic-run healthcare facilities that have been non-functional or underutilized for years. The city currently has up to six such facilities, including Dalvi Hospital, Late Rajiv Gandhi Hospital, Malti Kachi Maternity Hospital, Late Murlidhar Pandurang Laigude Dispensary, and Dr Homi Bhabha Hospital, where two to three floors have remained closed for several years.

Additionally, the four-storey Sanjay Gandhi Hospital at Bopodi has remained completely unused despite the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) spending lakhs of rupees on its construction. Recognizing the need to address this issue, the municipal commissioner, Ram, has ordered that all such structures be made functional without delay.
