LEADERSHIP VISION
President & Leadership Message
Guiding philosophies and visionary commitments from the leadership of The Calcutta Heart Clinic & Hospital Society.
The Calcutta Heart Clinic and Hospital was founded by legendary doctor and freedom fighter Dr. Nani Guha to alleviate the suffering of the underprivileged. In 1995, illustrious scientist Professor Sushil Kumar Mukherjee took up the reins, revitalizing the hospital through democratic values and selfless teamwork. When COVID-19 struck, our entire contingent of doctors, nurses, and staff rose courageously to treat patients with exceptional clinical outcomes.

We combine state-of-the-art flat-panel digital Cath Labs and advanced cardiac diagnostic technologies with stringent quality benchmarks accredited by NABH and external quality assessments by CMC Vellore & AIIMS. Our mission is to ensure that advanced, life-saving cardiac interventions remain within reach of every family without financial devastation.

INSTITUTIONAL DIALOGUE
In Conversation With Our Leadership
Direct insights into how we maintain clinical excellence while preserving our non-profit commitment.
How does the Society sustain advanced medical technology at subsidized costs?
"As a 100% non-profit society registered under the WB Act 1961, we have no corporate shareholders or profit dividends. All financial surpluses from hospital operations and donations are directly reinvested into cutting-edge medical equipment, subsidizing bed charges, and providing free insulin to children." — Dr. Kisan Pradhan, Hony. Secretary
What safeguards ensure our clinical quality matches premier national hospitals?
"We adhere to rigorous NABH quality indicators, monthly mortality audits, and participate in external quality assessment programs (EQAS) supervised by AIIMS New Delhi and CMC Vellore. Our senior interventionists operate 24x7 with stringent infection control protocols." — Dr. Asok Kumar Samanta, Medical Director
What is the hospital's roadmap for 2026 and beyond?
"We are commissioning three new Modular Operation Theatres with HEPA laminar airflow, expanding our specialized Home Care service for elderly cardiac patients, and setting up an advanced 3D Echocardiography lab. Our focus remains combining state-of-the-art care with human warmth." — Dr. Dhrubajyoti Mukhopadhyay, President
