SEVANGAN : The Charitable Dispensary

Sevangan, The Charitable Dispensary was started in a humble way in the main premises in May, 2000. It is now a full-fledged poly clinic in its own premises. The land was received on lease from the Kolkata Municipal Corporation in the year 2003 to run a Charitable Dispensary exclusively. The ground floor of the building for running the Dispensary was constructed with the Financial Help of Bank of Maharashtra in its inception. Gradually, with the support of compassionate donors and corporate houses, our charitable Dispensary Building is a three storied building now.

At present, Sevangan runs five days a week in the afternoon from 3.30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Qualified, experienced and enterprising 20 doctors render voluntary services in the different Departments of the clinic for the ailing mothers and children of the surrounding slums. No doctors’ fees are charged from the patients and prescribed medicines are distributed among them free of cost. Aged mothers are regularly given lifesaving drugs for diabetes, hypertension, thyroid and cardio logical problems throughout the year.

Only minimum fees are charged from the patients for all the investigations, Physiotherapy and Dental care. Concession is given when and where needed.

Our target is to serve nearly 10,000 patients annually. We have Clinical Establishment License for all our clinics from the Health and Family Welfare Department, Govt. of West Bengal. We have also received exemption from paying the clinical licence fees to the Government. Property Tax is  also exempted by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation from the beginning.
