The Park Clinic, with a modest base of 137 beds and a relatively small turnover, ensures that the profit earned from regular clinical support is ploughed back into the services of the society, said the organisers.
According to Dr Sudip Chatterjee, "Those seeking treatment in the outdoor patient department (OPD) pay Rs 12 per visit and can get all tests done at a 20 per cent discount. There are patients who have been coming continuously to the OPD for the past twenty five years, initially as children and now as adults."
Dr Chatterjee also said that on Sundays, the Day Care Unit offers free service to thalassemia patients who need blood transfusions.
Since 2009, in collaboration with Operation Smile, the Park Clinic is offering surgical facilities for patients who need treatment for cleft lip and cleft palate for free.
According to the clinic, it has provided Rs 70 lakh worth of free service for this project, where the doctors render free services while Operation Smile covers up for the remaining cost.
Around Rs 5 to 6 lakhs are waived as treatment charges for patients undergoing complex brain and spine surgery every year, according to the clinic.
The clinic said that it holds health camps in the Sunderbans in areas such as Sagar and Basanti as well as in remote areas of Burdwan and Murshidabad every year.
Kolkata Traffic Police personnel get trained here in basic life support.
Spine Treatment Camps are held at the clinic on Sundays for police officers.
Every year 8 to 10 scientific articles are published in national and international journals based on work done in the various departments, according to the clinic.
