I will refer to the cancer hospital being established by Lilavati Hospital and Mayo Clinic not just as a hospital, but as a ‘Health Temple’. The nurses are our ladki bahin (beloved sister) and will be given training by the Mayo Clinic. I hope they will become the world’s best nurses with skills and techniques. Nursing staff is the soul of the hospital embodying critical importance in healthcare. This type of nursing training is conducted for the first time in India. Lilavati Hospital is one of the advanced hospitals with the latest technology in Maharashtra and India and is world-recognized. The hospital prioritizes its motto- “More Than Healthcare, Human Care” and is serving patients. Cancer cases are rising due to changing lifestyles and fast food consumption and this is a growing matter of concern. However, new cutting-edge treatments are available for treating cancer. I believe the cancer hospital being established by Lilavati Hospital will greatly benefit patients battling cancer. It is the Government’s responsibility to strengthen health services in Maharashtra, and these services should reach remote areas too. Our Government is positive, practical, and cooperative for land allocation for the prestigious 300-bedded hospital and we will consider the appeal put forth by the Lilavati Hospital.”
