Aurangabad, Oct 29:
Patients coming to the cantonment civil hospital will now have to pay Rs 20 instead of Rs 10 for treatment. Similarly, the decision to set up a separate ward to treat male patients was taken at the meeting of the Aurangabad Cantonment Board (ACB) meeting on Thursday.
In the meeting, the ACB members decided to increase the charges for outpatient case papers (registration) by 100 per cent, from the current Rs 10 to Rs 20 to provide adequate facilities in the government hospital for the citizens of the cantonment area.
