Cancer Centre Welfare Home & Research Institute, Thakurpukur (CCWH & RI), Kolkata is the only Indian Cancer Hospital to boast of a sprawling 16 acres of land with trees, gardens and water bodies that create an ambience of being cared for in the lap of nature.
The basic philosophy of such extensive natural landscaping is to blend nature, art, and architecture, with modern machinery, extensive medical know-how and tender loving care to soothe the agony of the thousands of patients, who come to us every year for relief from a medical menace called Cancer.
Cancer is perceived by most as both a physical & mental ordeal. To confront this grave challenge, a group of doctors, social workers and philanthropists got together under the leadership of Dr. Saroj Gupta and formed a society in 1973. At Thakurpukur on a donated piece of land, CANCER CENTRE & WELFARE HOME was incepted initially to provide a sojourn to distressed Cancer patients who came to the city for treatment at different hospitals.
In the course of 3 decades, the small 'Home' with 25 beds has emerged as a full-fledged modern Cancer Hospital with 254 beds to be known & loved as CANCER CENTRE WELFARE HOME AND RESEARCH INSTITUTE.
