Multi-Speciality Hospital, Sector 16, has five ambulances.
Friendly City
They come as patients, stay back forever
Chandigarh, July 2
The generosity of people of the region has not only won hearts of poor patients coming for treatment to the PGI from other states, it has also provided them the opportunity of settling in the City Beautiful.
Many patients staying here for years for treatment ultimately decide to stay

in handy for them.
