SPIRIT OF MUMBAI & THE RARE SHOW OF LOVE & AFFECTION


Ms. Aruna Shanbag died on 18-May-2015 in KEM Hospital, Mumbai. The entire nation reacted with sadness. She was in a vegetative state after she was brutally raped by a wardboy, Sohanlal B. Valmiki, in 1973. The staff of KEM Hospital took care of her for more than four decades. The rapist was convicted and walked free from jail after 7 years and is now settled in Delhi.
            There are no words for the excellent service & care extended by the nursing staff of KEM Hospital, and also the support extended to her by the top management of the hospital – the care was so excellent that in spite of being in a vegetative state, she did not have even a single bed-sore !!
Due to pneumonia, she breathed her last on Monday. She had become an in-seperable part of KEM Hospital, the love & affection & attachment was so deep & intense that even the last rites were carried out by them.
CESA, Mumbai salutes the spirit and yeoman services rendered by the KEM nursing staff.  The spirit of Mumbai in caring for somebody in a manner better than blood relatives, Aruna will be an example.
