Someone at home is unwell. Money is tight. So the first thought is: let’s go to the BMC hospital in Borivali.
That’s a very normal thought. BMC hospitals are cheap, and they help lakhs of Mumbaikars every year.
But before you go, read this for 2 minutes. There’s another option many families don’t know about.
First, the honest truth about BMC hospitals
BMC hospitals do important work. But they serve a huge number of patients with limited beds and staff. So families often face:
- Long queues for OPD, tests and reports
- Long waiting dates for planned surgery
- Crowded wards with many patients in one place
- Less time with the doctor, because each doctor sees so many patients
- Running around for papers, tests and medicines
None of this is anyone’s fault. It’s simply too many patients for too few beds.
But when it’s your mother, father or child, waiting is hard.
