The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation ( BMC ) opened a new civic health training centre in Malad 's Malvani area, providing primary healthcare access for nearly 3.5 lakh residents in the western suburbs.

The centre was inaugurated on December 6 by Mumbai Suburban District Co-Guardian Minister Mangalprabhat Lodha, in the presence of Maharashtra Information Technology and Cultural Affairs Minister and District Guardian Minister Ashish Shelar.

It has been developed to bring essential medical services closer to suburban communities, reducing travel time for patients and easing the load on larger civic hospitals.

The five-storey facility includes spacious waiting areas, specialised outpatient services, a library, public health museum, vaccination rooms, IEC hall and a research centre.
