The
begining
Advisory Board of Arogya Sandhan and experts in the field of hospital
project had been invited for a discussion on setting up and viability
of a Child Hospital on 16.02.03 at IMA office, Jadavpur. After a
prolonged deliberation they recommended that the proposed Child
hospital, functionally, is not a viable proposition. Instead, Arogya
Sandhan should go in for a CHILD & MOTHER CARE HOSPITAL.
Accordingly Arogya Sandhan requested Dr.Satadal Saha, MS., FRCS,
Managing Director of West Bank Hospital, Howrah, to prepare a project
report.
Basic Principles
All members have decided to follow the following basic principles
in running the proposed hospital :
o Charges for the services will be very nominal as it will be on-cost-basis
o 30% of the services will be reserved for the people below poverty
line at free of cost
o Members will render voluntary social service.
o No prevalent unethical medical and non-medical practices in the
parlance of healthcare will be followed/encouraged.
o Humanity, Charity, Services and Transparency will be appropriately
blended and strictly followed at every step of
a activity.
Dr.Satadal Saha and his team, who are expert & experienced in
this field, have been kind enough to offer an honorary service in
preparing the Project Report.
Features of
the Project
o 100-bed CHILD & MOTHER CARE HOSPITAL
o 70 % services will be reserved for Children
o 30% Services will be reserved for Mothers and others
o Total cost of the project is 5.5 crores
o To be executed in 3 Phases
Need
In
India 80% of the population can hardly afford the bare minimum healthcare
facility because
o Of ever increasing cost of medical treatment.
o Governmental arrangement falls far short of the need
37% of the Indian population i.e.,40 crores people are living
below the poverty line
o All most all people in this category are in the vicious
cycle of Malnutrition
o Major sufferers are mothers and their female child as they are
neglected in every sphere of their life in the
society.
o Most of them are born with curable disease, live with the same
and die due to it.
No low-cost hospital is available in the southeastern fringe of
the Kolkata City.
This project will offer medical treatment to the
Lower Middle Class and People Below Poverty Line
STRENGTH of
this project(As envisaged by Dr.Satadal Saha and his team)
o New Concept
o The charges will be lower than corporate hospitals, attracting
patients
o Accessible location, well connected by public conveyance
o For a particular socio-economic class, this will be the only available
centre
o Members' vision is in perfect harmony with the concept of service
and institution - two most important ingredients
for any successful healthcare model today
o As Return on Equity is not desired in this project, the internal
generation of funds will meet the needs for expansion
to a larger extent than any other private hospitals.
