MANAS HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
Dadri Main Rd, Surajpur, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh 201306, India
MANAS HOSPITAL FOUNDATION is a 340-bed, NABH-accredited multispecialty centre located on the Eastern Bypass in Mukundapur, Kolkata. Established in 2010 by philanthropist-businessman Sri P. K. Chatterjee and a group of physicians who returned from the United Kingdom, the institution was conceived as a not-for-profit “foundation” model in which all operating surpluses are reinvested into patient care, medical education, and community outreach. Its core credo—‘Healing With Dignity’—guides every aspect of service delivery, from outpatient queues to end-of-life care.
The hospital’s clinical spectrum encompasses more than twenty-five specialties led by full-time teams rather than rotating visitors. Cardiac sciences run an established heart-transplant and VAD programme, having completed 113 transplants (2023 data) at costs 30-35 % below market median because procurement fees are cross-subsidised. Neurosciences offer 24 × 7 stroke thrombectomy, deep-brain stimulation, paediatric epilepsy surgery and a busy movement-disorders botulinum-toxin clinic. Orthopaedics houses Kolkata’s first hospital-based 3-D printing lab for complex revision arthroplasty, while oncology runs a true multidisciplinary board that blends robotic surgery, brachytherapy and a phase-II trials unit supported by the Tata Medical Centre consortium. A level-III NICU (28 beds) and one of the city’s two paediatric ECMO circuits complement maternal-foetal medicine for high-risk obstetrics.
Diagnostic strength is anchored by a 3-Tesla intra-operative MRI, 256-slice CT, PET-CT with digital detector, and an automated molecular microbiology section that provides real-time resistance mapping for critical-care antimicrobials. The hospital has paper-light workflows built on an end-to-end EPIC platform; patients access a unified QR-coded health record and e-pharmacy from admission to six-month follow-up.
Education and research are integral limbs. Manas hosts 120 DNB seats across disciplines, a nurse-practitioner programme tied to the University of West Bengal, and weekly city-wide ECHO clinics connecting 52 primary-health centres in the Sundarbans. A dedicated 24,000 sq ft “BIT-Lab” co-funded by the Department of Biotechnology pilots low-cost innovations—examples include a ₹95 reusable pulse oximeter shell for neonates and a smartphone-based diabetic-retinopathy screening kit.
Financial inclusivity is operationalised through a unique “1-1-1” covenant: 1 % of bed capacity is reserved entirely free, 1 % at cost price, and 1 % of total revenue underwrites an active palliative-care home-visit scheme covering 14 districts. Eligibility is adjudicated within two hours by a transparent committee using state food-security cards and QR-coded hospital records. A 24-hour Mitra desk manned by social workers and law-student volunteers handles grievances in English, Hindi, Bengali and Santhali.
The campus itself is designed for serenity: natural-light atria, bamboo louvres, rooftop solar catering to 42 % of non-clinical load, and a 28,000-litre rainwater harvesting system. Thirty percent of the 1,800 workforce—ranging from intensivists to janitors—live in foundation-maintained dormitories, easing commuter stress and ensuring rapid emergency mobilisation.
