CITIZEN CHARTER

LOKMANYA TILAK MUNICIPAL MEDICAL COLLEGE AND GENERAL  HOSPITAL



Standard of Services

This is a Municipal Medical College and General Hospital run by the Municipal  Corporation of Greater Mumbai.

It provides medical care to all patients who come to the hospital irrespective of financial status. Complex cases are referred from other centers.

The standard of services are maintained inspite of the above and the humongous workload (over 19 Lakh OPD patients annually), although the availability of resources are occasionally under strain. Yet we insist that all patients receive courteous and prompt attention.
