DR GHOSH CHARITABLE TRUST
Trust For A Better Mankind
Dr. Ghosh Charitable Trust (DGCT) was started by Dr. Siddhartha Ghosh in January 2001, after witnessing one too many cases of a patient being denied the opportunity for life-saving healthcare due to the lack of funds. Dr. Ghosh was driven by the belief that every human being ought to have access to medical treatment that could potentially save their lives – and socioeconomic background should not be a barrier to this.
It is with this vision that the Trust undertakes a host of activities. While performing free or low-cost neurosurgery is the Trust’s main thrust, it also provides other services for low-income groups.
FREE & LOW-COST NEUROSURGERY
Performing free or partially waived surgeries is at the heart of the Trust’s activities. With Dr. Ghosh’s tight-knit team of highly skilled doctors and nurses, the Trust has performed over 2500 neurosurgeries. The Trust has 20 committed nurses for home and hospital care who monitor the patients. The surgeries are performed with state-of-the-art equipment at Apollo Hospitals Chennai.
MULTISPECIALITY CLINIC & LAB IN KOLKATA
The Trust has set up a multispeciality clinic and diagnostic service in Ultadanga, Kolkata, where patients pay a nominal fee of Rs. 50 for a range of health services, such as Gynecology, Pediatrics, Cardiology, Neurology, Opthalmology, Dentistry, ENT, Dermatology and Orthopaedics. People also avail diagnostic services of blood test, X-ray, ultrasound, ECG, ECHO, EEG TMT and Holter monitor at a fraction of the regular cost with no compromise on the quality of equipment. Senior citizens get an additional discount.
An average of 20,000 patients avail these services every year. Apart from low-cost consultations, the Trust also offers free medication for up to 3 days after consultation. Apart from this, many neurological patients get their monthly medicine freely provided by the Trust.
BRAIN MEDICAL SCHOLARSHIPS
The Trust chooses a few exemplary students each year and grants a 100% scholarship for an MBBS degree in the State Govt Medical Colleges of Tamil Nadu & West Bengal. The Trust has supported the entire cost of education of 200 students in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu so far.
FREE MEDICAL CAMPS
The Trust conducts regular medical camps to provide patients free medical consultations and medication. Three multi-speciality medical camps are held every year in West Bengal, while over 25 periodic medical check-ups are conducted in several orphanages, old age homes and disability NGOs per year. The Trust also provides these institutions with their annual supply of medication. The Trust has conducted over 400 such free medical camps till date.
CMES
CME programs are conducted in various medical colleges for doctors and medical students to benefit from the lectures by eminent doctors in the field. The Trust conducts regular CMEs on radiology, pathology, neurology, surgery & ancillary treatments.
