Thane, Feb 20: In a significant boost to the public healthcare sector, the Thane District Health Department has set a new benchmark by successfully performing 47,505 surgeries between January 2025 and January 2026. This achievement underscores the growing efficiency and expanding reach of government medical facilities in both urban and rural areas of the district.
Breaking down the numbers
The total figure includes a strategic mix of critical and routine procedures, reflecting the department's ability to handle a high volume of patients without compromising on quality.
Major Surgeries: 14,419
Minor Surgeries: 33,086
Civil Hospital, Thane, emerged as a leader in handling complex cases, recording the highest number of major surgeries at 4,341. Other key contributors included:
Central Hospital, Ulhasnagar-3: 2,705 major surgeries.

Excellence across rural and urban hubs
The report highlights that healthcare success was not limited to the city centre. Sub-district and rural hospitals in Shahapur, Badlapur, Ambernath, Murbad, Goveli, and Tokawade successfully conducted hundreds of surgeries.
A streamlined referral system has also been established. This ensures that while primary treatments are provided locally, critical patients are swiftly moved to high-level centres through a well-coordinated network, significantly reducing mortality risks.
Life-saving interventions
The health department’s performance is best illustrated through several high-stakes success stories:
Shahapur: Doctors performed a high-risk appendectomy on a young man suffering from acute pain, effectively giving him a new lease on life.
Thane Civil Hospital: A young boy who suffered a severe fall from a tree, resulting in a compound fracture with the bone protruding, underwent emergency surgery that saved his hand from permanent damage.
Oncology success: Surgeons successfully removed a cancerous tumour from the breast of a 78-year-old woman, proving that age is no bar for advanced public healthcare.
A stronger public trust
The District Health Department stated that these figures are a testament to the philosophy that "Health is Wealth." By balancing medical facilities between rural and urban sectors, the government has managed to build a robust infrastructure capable of meeting the challenges of a growing population.
