Rajawadi Hospital in Ghatkopar East, where most of the injured from the landslide at Vashi Naka and Vikhroli house collapse were taken, was quite ill-prepared for the emergency. A senior official of the hospital said they are in the process of constructing a new emergency medical services department. We had patients from three major incidents coming together,’’ said Dr Vidya Thakur, medical superintendent of Rajawadi Hospital. She said Senior Medical Officer Dr Sachin Payyanvar attended to the patients. Prakash Wani, a Shiv Sainik and a member of the hospital vigilance committee, said, “Rajawadi needs more staffers and doctors and a much better emergency infrastructure to tackle such situations.
