Ghatkopar folks in need of surgery would do well to stay away from Rajawadi Hospital till the first week of May. Around 25-30 planned weekly surgeries at the civic-run hospital in Ghatkopar (E) have been put on hold after a minor fire broke out in the air-conditioning duct of the operation theatre (OT) in the building’s trauma unit, in the wee hours of April 25. To make matters worse, the main OT is also shut, being under repairs for almost three weeks now.

Traumatic: The recent fire in one of four air-conditioners installed in the operation theatre of Rajawadi hospital’s trauma unit has crippled all the surgeries planned for patients in the male and female surgical wards. File pic
