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.

"What's in a name?" asked Shakespeare
and we were all made to believe that the name was
just a trivial part of an identity. Times have changed
since Shakespeare's days, and the name now, is a
one-word reflection of not just the identity but
also the ideology being represented to the rest
of the world. |

So, we say to all our Cancer patients and their
relatives - Welcome Home!
Yes, a home, away from
home - not a cold blooded iron cage Hospital,
with measured doses of air & sunlight, sterile
conversations & conditioned laughter. A home,
which ensures that there are hundreds of trees
lining the broad avenues leading up to the wards
and patient service areas. A home with seasonal
lilies blooming in its multiple giant ponds, with
swans preening themselves in their mirrored waters.
A home, where one could take a long walk around
the bridges and hillocks before settling back
in bed for the daily medicines.
