This upgrade wasn’t done alone. Mumbai Nasik Expressway Pvt. Ltd. collaborated with the NGO Making The Difference and upgraded the Emergency Center with modern technology and equipment. This ensures that accident victims and others in need receive timely and effective medical care.
The reformed Emergency Center in Padgha, a collaborative effort between Mumbai Nasik Expressway Pvt. Ltd. and Making The Difference-NGO, exemplifies the power of private-nonprofit partnerships. This transformative initiative addresses a critical need – timely medical intervention for accidents along the Mumbai Nashik Expressway. The centre can now provide life-saving care with modern amenities, drastically lowering mortality and long-term consequences.
This initiative not only sets a compelling example for other companies to prioritise social responsibility but also acts as a ray of hope, potentially saving countless lives and improving the well-being of individuals who use the expressway.
