The day after Shiv Sena (UBT) staged a protest outside the collector's office in Pune city, opposing the government's alleged plan to implement a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model at Aundh District Hospital, the health department on Thursday clarified that no proposal for the privatization of the District General Hospital Pune exists.

The protest organized by Shiv Sena on Wednesday aimed to voice their strong opposition to the perceived privatization attempt at Aundh District Hospital. Party members labelled the alleged plan as an endeavour to privatize the facility, expressing concerns about potential implications on public healthcare access and quality.

However, Deputy Director of the Health Department, Dr Radhakishan Pawar, has given clarification, stating that no proposal for the privatization of District General Hospital in Pune has been submitted. He affirmed that no such decision has been taken either.
