Aurangabad, Feb 10:

The treatment of the cardiac patients finally began in Super-speciality Block in Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) from Thursday after a long wait. Now, the OPD for the heart patients has began and Angiography and Angioplasty facilities will be started soon, the sources said.
