AAP Protests Delay in Opening Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Pune
A new hospital called Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Pune is ready but not open.
People from the Aam Aadmi Party and local women protested because they need the hospital for emergency deliveries and to help accident victims.
Right now, poor women have to go far away for help.
The hospital is on a highway, which would be great for quick medical care.
The party says the government should run the hospital for free instead of giving it to private management.
Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Bopodi, Pune, is fully built but not yet opened.
AAP and local women protested to demand the hospital's inauguration for emergency deliveries and accident care.
Currently, poor women in Bopodi and Aundh areas have to travel to Kamala Nehru or Sassoon Hospital for emergency deliveries.
The hospital's location on the highway could provide crucial care for accident victims during the golden hour.
AAP criticizes the Pune Municipal Corporation for not running the hospital and instead giving it to private management.
