Kolkata's Seth Sukhlal Karnani Memorial (SSKM) Hospital has achieved a rare success by conducting over 200 surgeries in five days. A team of more than 30 doctors, consisting of Director Manimoy Banerjee, Professor Dr. Abhimanyu Basu, and Dr. Diptendra Sarkar, spearheaded the campaign, conducting about 35 to 40 operations a day to clear the mounting pile of surgeries.
Dr. Abhimanyu Basu, departmental head of Surgery and Laparoscopy, and Dr. Diptendra Sarkar led the special campaign.
Participating surgeon Dr. Siraj Ahmed said prior to this scheme, the hospital used to do about ten operations a day. Seeing the piling up of cases, the medical staff came together and resolved to increase their surgical output. "Earlier, if there were too many patients, we used to restrict the number of operations to ten per day. Now, we have decided to expand our limits and accept more patients," he stated. "This time, we have been able to conduct over 200 operations in five days".
This feat has been welcomed by patients and their relatives, who are optimistic that such efforts will continue to enhance public healthcare facilities. SSKM Hospital's achievement is a testament to its dedication to delivering quality medical services to thousands of patients who troop to the facility on a daily basis.
Apart from this achievement, SSKM Hospital is also set to upgrade its health infrastructure with the launch of a cancer care facility in association with Tata Memorial Hospital. The state cabinet of West Bengal has given the go-ahead for the development of a new 10-storey building with a focus on holistic cancer care, such as high-end diagnostic and therapeutic services. The project has been undertaken with the goal of enhancing access to quality cancer care for the region's patients.
SSKM Hospital's recent developments constitute a major stride towards enhancing medical treatment and access in Kolkata. The recent milestone in surgery and proposals for an exclusive cancer building reflect the hospital's continuous strive to enhance the standards of public healthcare in the city and region.
