State-run Cama Hospital will keep its antenatal care (ANC) outpatient department open on Nov 10 and 11 to ensure pregnant women do not miss routine check-ups during the Diwali holidays. All other OPDs will remain closed on Nov 11, according to an order issued by medical superintendent Tushar Palve.
Palve said many pregnant women travel long distances from Mumbai, Mumbra, Bhiwandi and remote areas to access care at the hospital. This causes them physical and mental distress and can affect routine checks necessary during pregnancy,” he said. “When the OPD is closed for holidays, they are forced to return without getting their check-ups.
