Commence District Hospital By 31st March: HC To Govt.

The Goa Bench of Bombay High Court on Thursday morning directed the government to commence by 31st March the district hospital in the new premises constructed at Mapusa. The order was pronounced while dismissing public interest litigation (PIL) filed before it seeking directions to utilize the new premises lying vacant. The high court rejected the government’s plea that they were awaiting for appropriate party to commence the hospital on Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) model. The high court also directed the government to start the hospital services with their intensive care unit and the trauma unit.
