The international climate community was apprised of the forthcoming Kolkata Climate Action Plan on the sidelines of the recently-concluded UN climate conference, COP-29, at Baku, Azerbaijan.
Charnock Hospital has decided to enter into the healthcare space in central Kolkata by starting operations at once known Lohia Hospital.
The heritage structure, once used to house Lohia Matri Sewa Sadan Hospital, will be taken over by the Charnock Hospital on lease and converting it into a super specialty hospital which will be named as Charnock Lohia Hospital, targeting patients from neighbourhoods of central Kolkata, Howrah and Hooghly.
Charnock Lohia Hospital will be transformed into a 200-bedded super specialty hospital with 4-6 OT, a cath lab & a CTVS/Neuro OT. It plans to have more than 90 ward beds, 20 cabins, a 10-bedded dialysis unit etc.

Prashant Sharma, MD of Charnock Hospital, said, “Charnock Hospital has an immediate vision of expanding with 100-200-beds. We plan to have a cancer facility by April 2025 and we will be treating Swasthya Sathi patients. Our hospital is moderately priced, so that both the rich and poor can get treated here. We plan to scale up our bed capacity to 1000 in West Bengal in future.”
