Professor Dr Nupur Banerjee, chief administrative officer of the hospital, said, “We plan to start the new facility as a general hospital and then add on more specialised departments as we get more funds.”

The founder secretary of the Calcutta Heart Clinic and Hospital Society, Dr Nani Guha was a freedom fighter. Dr Guha, who finished his medical education after serving his jail term, under the British government, was the head of Chittaranjan hospital (CNCI) when he resigned from his post to start a small hospital at his Park Circus home. The hospital now is a multi-speciality hospital with 130 beds.
