The governor was speaking at a programme organised at the release of the five year report (2015-20) of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Vaidyakiya Pratishthan which runs various medical institutions including Dr Hedgewar Hospital and other hospitals in the state on Sunday at Raj Bhavan. President of the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Vaidyakiya Pratishthan Dr Anil Bhalerao, general secretary Dr Anant Pandhare, businessman Ramesh Tenwala, Sunil Kejriwal, Ravindra Sanghvi, Rajendra Barwale and Dr Usha Krishna was present.

Use the word clinic

The governor suggested that Hedgewar hospital should use the word clinic instead of hospital as the word hospital paints a negative picture of an institution with only patients.
