It was a sense of patriotism combined with telling concern for the ailing people that inspired us to find The Calcutta Heart Clinic & Hospital Society, as a non-commercial Socio Medical organization. This was registered in the year 1975 under West Bengal Societies Registration Act, 1961.
This society stands on its firm objective to provide all sorts of Socio Medical services to the needy in general and to the under privileged, in particular, through its various activities since inception.
Firstly, it provides all sorts of in-house Cardiac and other medical treatment facilities with utter sincerity and warm hospitality at the minimum possible cost. There are unceasing efforts among all the clinicians, nursing staff and members of society for continuous upgradation of medical treatment well as ethical and moral values for the attainment of its noble objectives. In this process, the society has been able to develop a team of medical and non-medical staff, who along with social workers, has transformed its in-house treatment center to unique levels of hospitality and care and has created an environment of comprehensive total treatment.
Secondly, it organizes a number of medical activities like holding of Pulse Polio programme, free Diabetic Clinic and distribution of free insulin among juvenile Diabetics, free preventive as well as curative medical camp at different slum areas, organizing various cultural programmes for emancipation of ethical and moral values and participation in flood relief and disaster management in West Bengal and other parts of the country.
Thirdly, The Society, in the process of its development has started a lot of academic activities for the medical, nursing and paramedical field. Fourthly, The Society has also stated activities in the field of Clinical Research and an Institutional Ethics Committee in the formation stage.
Since The Calcutta Heart Clinic & Hospital Society operates as a non-profit organisation, it has limited financial means and resources and relies heavily on various sorts of donations and charitable contributions.
Any contribution from donors from within the country or abroad, will not only enable the hospital to provide medical care for much needed COVID-19 patients, but also continue its core mission of providing cardiac care for much needed financially deprived patients also.
