I have read the several reviews of Seven Hills Hosp on Mouth Shut. There has been much criticism but I feel the criticism far exceeds what the hospital deserves. One must not forget that the hospital is still new by all standards. Two years is nothing in the life of an Institution. Mistakes may have been made in the initial phase of the hospital but which Institution of such a size hasn’t made similar, if not bigger mistakes? I have seen so many projects have teething problems. Many projects cannot overcome their initial problems and succumb to them. It is to the credit of Seven Hills that it is holding out despite the several problems it is facing. The demands being made by the BMC seem to be very vindictive at times.
Like the Honorable Judge of the HC said, it seems as though there is someone who does not want the hospital to get a NOC and take loans to complete the project. I personally have had a great experience in the hospital. A doctor friend of mine had chest pain and he was immediately taken to Seven Hills where the Cardiologist immediately attended to him and he underwent angioplasty. This happened several months back. This doctor friend is now continuing with his practise in the neighbourhood of the hospital. This was a life-saving action. Several other patients have benefitted greatly from the hospital. The infrastructure of the hospital is excellent and the diagnostic reports are very accurate.
There are several excellent doctors. The pediatric cardiac surgeon is a great asset and has done extremely good work in his field. The radiology department has also got some very outstanding doctors which any institution will be proud of. The CMD is a very genuine man and the management of the hospital has spent more than 1000 crores on the project from their own funds. What more can the people of Marol and Andheri ask for? It is human nature to look at the negative aspect of things and forget the good that people do. But by doing that we are demoralising and that does not help.
I would therefore request all those who criticise the hospital to help it to grow. We need such a beautiful institution not only in our locality but also in the whole of Mumbai.
