IPGMER and SSKM Hospital

IPGMER and SSKM Hospital maintains 1775 beds across multiple specialized buildings, including surgical, medical, pediatric, and maternity departments within its extensive campus.

Established in 1707 as the first hospital in Calcutta within the Old Fort premises, the institution received its current name in 1954 to honor benefactor Seth Sukhlal Karnani.

The institution earned the KMC Heritage Building Grade I designation and houses the location where Sir Ronald Ross conducted research leading to his 1902 Nobel Prize in Medicine.

The hospital provides round-the-clock emergency services and operates outpatient departments from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, offering both free beds and private cabins across various wards.

The facility includes fourteen major operation theaters, specialized critical care units, and a dedicated School of Digestive and Liver Diseases in the eastern section of the grounds.
