Overview
- LMIMS, which held its foundation ceremony Thursday in Nandoshi, drew CM Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy CM Eknath Shinde and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
- Fadnavis said the state will provide approach roads, ensure dependable water supply, and fast‑track clearances for the charitable project.
- He added that the government will consider concessions on building premiums that non‑profit hospitals now pay at commercial rates.
- Trustees outlined a nearly 40‑acre integrated medical city that includes multiple specialty centers and a medical college, with a first‑phase super‑speciality hospital sized to treat about 1,000 patients at a time.
- Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital reported helping 2.21 lakh patients through ₹72.64 crore in charity last year, a track record leaders cited to justify scaling up care as the new institute also serves as a tribute to Lata Mangeshkar and the late Asha Bhosle.
