Sassoon Hospital
 The
largest and oldest general government hospital
in the city, Sassoon's trauma and emergency care
facilities are one of the best in the city. The
hospital has all the facilities required, but
the place is better known for its treatment of
burn victims. Sassoon's psychiatry care is also
counted among the best in the country. Dr Mohan
Agashe, a well-known psychiatrist, is the head
of the Mental Health Deparment. Treatment is almost
free, but the line is long and one may have to
wait for a while for getting treated. It is located
close to the Pune Railway Station.

of cataracts. Though meant for the use of armed
