Chembur’s strong real estate market, characterized by consistent supply and rising prices, has not only solidified its position but also spurred growth in neighboring areas. The launch of approximately 5,600 units in 2020 and 2021 by renowned developers has bolstered market dynamics. Due to its strategic location, Chembur has become a focal point for growth in the eastern region, driving development in adjacent micro-markets like Kurla, Tilak Nagar, Nehru Nagar.

Connectivity:

Chembur’s strategic location ensures excellent connectivity to key business districts like BKC, Lower Parel, Nariman Point, Andheri, Powai, and Vikhroli.

Proposed metro lines in Chembur and neighboring areas are also increasing property prices, making the area more appealing for residential investment.

Metro Line 2B will connect DN Nagar to Mankhurd allowing direct connectivity to BKC and extended western suburbs of Mumbai. Metro line 4 will connect Wadala to Kasarvadavali, improving connectivity to eastern suburbs. This will help ease congestion on the LBS, Eastern Express Highway and Central railway.

More than 80 women officers participated in the medical camp. They were offered various blood investigations to rule out heart, kidney, and liver ailments and for covid suffered officer’s pulmonary function test was carried.

It has been a year and still, the entire world continues to reel under Coronavirus. At the time when Covid cases were rising alarmingly in India, people were advised to stay at home in order to minimize the risk of catching the infection. But the cops continued to work hard and protect society by risking their lives.

Dr. Roy Patankar, Director and Gastroenterologist, Zen Multispeciality Hospital, highlighted, “Policing is stressful as it involves both physical and mental stress and irregular sleep pattern. Female cops had erratic schedules and worked in longer shifts during the pandemic by neglecting their own health and making sure that society is safe. There are many female cops who got infected with the deadly virus and were back on duty once they recover. These female cops have discharged their duties of protecting the citizens and the city. Like us, it is equally essential for cops to maintain the right body weight and exercise regularly. We take pride in serving female cops who were on toes during the Covid-19 outbreak.”

Shri Sanjay Darade, Additional Commissioner of Police, East Region, Mumbai “First of all, I wish each and every woman a Happy Women’s day and urge people to celebrate it every day. Women should be respected every day. There are many women like Rani Laxmi Bai, Annie Besant, Sarojini Naidu, Ahilyabai Holkar, Savitribai Phule, and many others have succeeded in social, political, economic and cultural aspects of life. Today, Zen Hospital is conducting health check-ups under the guidance of Dr. Patankar for female cops.

Police Inspector Sanjay Pujari Additional charge ACP East adds, “I urge all female personnel to discuss women-specific health issues with the doctor. More and more women should get benefit from this well camp. Discuss issues like cancer that is rapidly spreading among women. Women tend to neglect their health and this, in turn, gives rise to complications in the future. Female cops should resolve all your health problems before leaving the camp, do the required tests under the guidance of the doctor, and seek prompt treatment. I would like to thank Zen Hospital for coming forward and caring for the female cop’s health through this camp.”

Feb 24, 2021 by Neel Achary 0 Comments #Chembur, #Dr Kshitij Shah, #ENT Surgeon, #Zen Multispecialty Hospital

A team of doctors from Zen Multispeciality Hospital, Mumbai gave a fresh lease of life to a 10-year-old girl who had accidentally swallowed a large metallic pin with a sharp end, 2 years ago. A team led by ENT doctors Dr Kshitij Shah and Dr Shalaka Dighe, ably supported by paediatric pulmonologist Dr Sagar Warankar and anaesthesia team led by Dr Pramod Kale performed a successful surgery at the hospital. The patient recovered and was discharged within 48 hours.

2 years ago, Naira Shah (name changed), a 10 –year-old girl from Mumbai accidentally swallowed a metallic pin. An x-ray of the abdomen was done and it failed to reveal the foreign body and everybody eventually forgot about the incident. Her life was smooth until the patient started complaining of dry cough after 1.5 years of sleeping in certain positions. Hence, the patient visited Zen Multispeciality Hospital for further investigations.

Dr Kshitij Shah, ENT Surgeon, Zen Multispeciality Hospital, Mumbai, said, “To our utter surprise, an x-ray of the chest revealed a metallic foreign body in the lower airway on the left side. A CT scan of the chest was done to precisely locate the foreign body. After an initial attempt at removal of the foreign body by flexible bronchoscopy, a decision was made to perform a rigid bronchoscopy.”

Dr Shalaka Dighe, ENT Surgeon, Zen Multispeciality Hospital, Mumbai, said, “Rigid bronchoscopy is a procedure done to gain access to the patient’s airway using a hollow metallic tube under general anaesthesia. The foreign body was successfully removed without any complications and without an external scar on the body after an hour-long surgery.

Dr Dighe said, “The child was hale and hearty in a couple of hours after surgery. Failure to remove the foreign body via bronchoscopy would mean a very morbid open surgery (thoracotomy) to remove it.”

“For over 1.5 years, Naira (name changed) was fine and did not encounter any problems. But suddenly she started coughing. We panicked, feared Covid and took her to Zen Hospital. We are thankful to Zen Hospital for promptly treating our child and urge other parents like us to keep away sharp or metallic objects like pins or coins from their children,” concluded the patient’s father Sanjiv Shah (name changed).
