Mumbai, April 8: To enhance transparency in civic health services and streamline patient care, the BMC will develop an online dashboard displaying real-time data about the availability of beds in all BMC hospitals. The online dashboard, which will display all available general beds, ICU beds, and 24/7 facilities, is expected to be ready next month.
GeM procurement and key decisions
The BMC has also decided to procure all health-related purchases through the GeM portal. The decisions were taken at a meeting held on Tuesday in the presence of Mumbai BJP President MLA Ameet Satam, Mayor Ritu Tawde, Health Committee Chairman Harish Bhandirge, and Additional Municipal Commissioner Vipin Sharma.
Focus on transparency and expansion
“It has been decided that all health-related purchases, including medicines and equipment available on the GeM portal, will be procured through it. This will ensure transparency and eliminate corruption,” Satam said, adding that since the BMC will add another 2,000 beds capacity in the next couple of years, there is a need to hire medical as well as support staff to ensure complete utilisation of the added beds.
