The health scenario in Mumbai becomes evident from the service offered by the many Mumbai Hospitals. While many of the hospitals in Mumbai belong to the private sector, a good number of hospitals and health care centers are government ventures. Most of the nursing homes have their own ambulance services and specialized departments. The Municipality of Mumbai maintains five hospitals including the Sion Hospital, Nair Hospital, KEM Hospital, Peripherals and JJ Hospital.
The total number of clinics, diagnostic centers and urban health care centers in Mumbai are estimated to be around a thousand in number. All these hospitals taken together can accommodate around 22,000 patients with proper bedding. Disposal of medical wastes is an important agenda and the matter demands urgent attention. The disposed objects, such as anatomical throw away, used bandages syringes must be done in a way so that they do not cause environmental pollution. The Grant Medical hospital, the Nanavati Hospital and the Hinduja Hospital are facilitated with special furnaces so as to treat these medical wastes.
