From the Desk of Managing Trustee
In June 2018,founder and former director Dr. Ashis Mukhopadhyay MD, DNB, DCH (Medical & Haemato-Oncologist) (1963-2020) spent every penny we had, to open our hospital. Our mission was to bring the highest quality of cancer care, world-class equipment, ultra-modern facilities and family-like caring touch for everyone, at prices even the middle-class could afford. With this dream in our hearts, our public charitable trust had begun humbly, in 2004 in a small rented building in Park Street, Kolkata, then shifting to a large 150-bedded hospital in Nayabad and finally, to the world-class hospital building here.
On 22nd January, 2021, NCRI’s Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) unit, at par with international standards, was finally set up. It was our director Dr. Mukhopadhyay's dream but sadly he had passed away by then. He had completed his extensive training and fellowship of four and a half years at Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital, Mumbai. He had wanted his hospital NCRI to be just as comprehensive and a one-stop solution for cancer in Kolkata, as his alma mater is in Mumbai.
Today, being the managing trustee I am having the vision for NCRI to make it the most trustworthy, number one, one-stop-solution for cancer. Already, we offer seamless end-to-end services, from prevention to palliation, all of which, match international standards. At the same time, we provide a very warm family-like atmosphere, making our care deeply personal – something that is very unique to NCRI. Cancer is an illness, which often drives families into financial ruin. But we have complete transparency in expenditure – you know how much you are going to pay from the very beginning, with no surprise charges. I pride NCRI’s affordability with zero compromise in technology, perfect diagnosis, worldclass standards in treatment and care. My vision is to continue to take it forward until NCRI is a global name in cancer treatment for one and for all.
