unique situation and is the first major referral hospital and caters to

super-specialties. With Many Intensive care units and special clinics,
it takes care of complex health problems at very affordable cost. It has

the under privileged sections of the society. The main strength of
Lokmanya Tilak Municipal General Hospital has been the efficient Trauma
Care Centre and emergency Medical services center with the
state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. It was the first Trauma
Service in our country and possibly in Asia, which has been on a
constant state of alert for disasters. This hospital is a nodal center
amongst the medical services of the Disaster management plan in the
civic context. It has many firsts to its credit like human milk bank,
skin bank and first emergency coronary stenting.

November 1964 Lokmanya Tilak Medical College was established with the
first batch of 60 students. The college has turned out as an excellent
undergraduate, post graduate and super speciality training centre and
has produced quality health care professionals. Currently LTMC has 100

The motto Service through Excellence is never true it is to the
Lokmanya Tilak Municipal General Hospital. It is my proud privilege to
lead these twin institutions and look forward towards its growth not

years.
