The Hope Foundation, with the support of Weightwatchers Ireland, opened The Hope Hospital in Kolkata in 2008. It provides medical treatment and health services to the most underprivileged children and adults. People attend the hospital because they cannot afford to pay for medical treatment and need urgent medical attention. Sick children are often referred by our Child Watch programme which patrols the streets of Kolkata keeping a watch over the vulnerable. The hospital is a fully equipped four-floor building with modern facilities. We have a Pathology Unit, a Specialist Out Patients Department, a 30-bed In-Patient Department, Operating Theatre and Recovery Room, Steriliser Room and kitchen and laundry facilities. The ground floor is used by Hope Kolkata Foundation as a Polyclinic & Diagnostic Center. The clinic has two Paediatric doctors, one General Physician, and one Surgeon and is open to patients in the morning and the evening. 4000+ out patients were treated in the first year alone. Immunisation camps are organised for children suffering from HIV and AIDS. Among the hospital’s medical specialties are: paediatrics; cardiology; E&T; orthopaedics, dermatology, gynaecology, pathology, radiology and biochemistry. Quality care is delivered around the clock by medical, nursing and general staff.

A Total of 34,661 people have been treated in the hospital since it first opened in 2008 through the dedication of our staff and the support of Weightwatchers Ireland.

A Sincere Thank You to all who have helped to make a difference….
