The document discusses several health problems faced in Mumbai, India's largest city. It notes that Mumbai has a large population and many slums, which has increased demands on the city's health services. Major health issues include pollution-related diseases, chronic illnesses like diabetes and hypertension, and infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria and polio. The waste management and disposal system is overburdened, and there is a shortage of hospital beds and medical facilities relative to the population. Improving education, medical resources, sanitation infrastructure and environmental monitoring are suggested to enhance public health in Mumbai.

• In spite of substantial reductions in
mortality rate over the years,
health care in Bombay remains far
below the expected level.
 Management and disposal waste
• More than 5000 metric tons of solid
waste is generated every day in
Mumbai. The municipal corporation
is in charge of the disposal of this
waste, and evidently cannot cope
with the task.

 Hospitals
 Mumbai has about 22,000 hospital beds
distributed in about 1000 health care
centers. Of these about 17 are municipal
hospitals which can be afforded by the urban
poor who make up 50% of the population.
 Major health problems
 Among Mumbai's major health problems
one must surely count AIDS and Tuberculosis
. Chronic respiratory problems due to air
pollution are endemic among a large
fraction of the population. Malaria and polio
make occasional appearances.

increased, all kids of equipments required

Mumbai health and safety problem.

12. Health Services in Mumbai
 Mumbai is one of India's largest cities and an important
commercial and industrial centre.
 Despite everyday pronouncements of major
breakthroughs and advances in medical and health
technology, the basic health needs of a majority of the
population in Mumbai are not yet met even in a
rudimentary manner.
 Mumbai has a vast supply of public and private health
care services.
 The Central Government has its own dispensaries,
which are available only for their employees.

13. NEW HEALTH CARE DRIVE IN MUMBAI
1. Implementation of "PURA PROJECT- of
VISION 2020 with adequate health care
facilities.
2. More Nursing Colleges to be opened to
balance the requirement of Paramedics.
3. Emphasis should be given towards
cleanliness, sewage system, drainage
system, and prevention of overcrowding of
the hospitals, in metros and in the cities.
4. More public health related research in
Industrial areas and in hospitals within that
locality.
5. We may have to follow these simple
principles behind having petrol stations in
the highways i.e., keeping hospitals at a
certain distance according to population so
that emergency services can be made
easily.
