28th years, a heartfull service by RUBY General Hospital towards our society
BE, Kolkata ::: Ruby General Hospital has stepped into its 28th year of service to the community on On 25th April, 2023. More than two and a half decades ago, on 25th April, 1995, honourable Ex CM Shri Jyoti Basu, had inaugurated this first NRI hospital of Eastern India. After a few months, on 28th October, 1995, Mother Teresa had inaugurated the Cardiac Surgery Unit. Ruby Hospital was founded by Dr. Kamal K. Dutta, who graduated from R. G. Kar Medical College, Kolkata and went to the US in 1976. Today, Ruby General Hospital is a 356 bedded, NABH accredited and ISO 9001 : 2015 certified multispecialty hospital. Ruby Hospital has also been conferred with the ‘Healthcare Achievers Award, 2014’ in the category of ‘Best Multispecialty Hospital – Kolkata’ and ‘Swasthya Samman 2022’ for Excellence in Multispecialty Care by ABP Ananda. In the year 2015, Ruby General hospital has come up with Ruby Cancer Centre, providing state of the art affordable cancer care along with preventive, medical, surgical, radiation, and palliative oncology services. It is also the first NABH accredited cancer centre in West Bengal. The 25 years has been a long journey, from taking baby steps to taking giant strides today.
While, stepping into the 28th year, Ruby General Hospital, in an endeavour to give back to the society, had planned to launch a special health benefit card for those who are mentally challenged. This card will offer exclusive IPD and OPD facilities to these special souls. As we all know that Manovikas Kendra works for the welfare and rehabilitation of children with mental disabilities along with spreading awareness about issues related to special children is our oldest neighbour. Since 1974, Manovikas Kendra is the special world for those ‘differently abled children, who are otherwise labeled as ‘disabled’ or ‘handicapped’ and they also have a separate unit for autistic children. The administration of Manovikas Kendra had gladly agreed to allow us to launch this special card at their campus. The first 500 cards had been given to the students of Manovikas Kendra.
The inauguration event had been held on 25/04/2023 at Manovikas Kendra, Rehabilitation & Research Institute for the Handicapped on E.M. Bypass at 9.30 am in the presence of Dr. D. P. Samaddar (Director Medical Affairs), Dr. Sudeshna Lahiri (Deputy Medical Director) and Mr. Subhasish Datta (Chief General Manager Operations) from Ruby General Hospital and Dr. Sharada Fatehpuria (Founder & Chairperson – Emeritus), Dr. Anamika Sinha (Director) and Mrs. Rinku Gaine (Principal, Centre for Education) from Manovikas Kendra followed by a Health Check Up for the children, parents and teachers. The priviledge card had been inaugurated amidst claps and laughter as they were overwhelmed with the initiative taken by Ruby General Hospital.
Both Ruby General Hospital and Manovikas Kendra have expressed their heartfelt gratitude to all the parents, teachers, administration, well wishers who have been with Ruby and supporting throughout its journey.
