The Kidney Care Society today inaugurated the Sampa Bose Memorial Charitable Renal Care & Research Centre, a dedicated charitable kidney care facility near Science City, Kolkata, marking a significant step towards improving access to affordable, high-quality renal healthcare for underprivileged patients across West Bengal.
The centre has been established through the generous donation of the six-storied Pratidin Media building by noted industrialist and philanthropist Mr. Swapan Sadhan “Tutu” Bose in memory of his late wife, Mrs. Sampa Bose, whose courageous battle with Chronic Kidney Disease inspired the creation of this institution. The centre aims to ensure that no patient is denied life-saving kidney treatment because of financial constraints.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by: Smt. Locket Chatterjee, General Secretary of BJP WB; Swami Sparshananda Ji Maharaj, Ramakrishna Mission; Sri. Sabyasachi Chakrabarty, Actor; Smt. Mithu Chakraborty, Actress; Dr. Pradip Mitra, Ex Director of Medical Education, Govt. of WB; Sri. Tamoghna Ghosh, District President of the BJP, North Kolkata; Sri.

Debashis Dutta, President of Mohun Bagan Club & many other eminent personalities.
With Chronic Kidney Disease emerging as one of India’s fastest-growing health challenges, the new centre seeks to bridge a critical gap in affordable renal care by offering advanced dialysis, diagnostics, critical care, and comprehensive patient support under one roof. The facility reflects The Kidney Care Society’s long-standing mission of “Good Renal Health for All” and its commitment to making quality kidney care accessible to every section of society.
Speaking to the media, Dr. Pratim Sengupta, President, The Kidney Care Society, said, “Today, we are not merely inaugurating a hospital – we are beginning a movement towards equitable kidney care. Built on compassion and driven by purpose, this centre reflects our unwavering commitment that every patient deserves dignity, quality treatment, and hope, irrespective of financial circumstances.”
Speaking on the occasion, Sri. Srinjoy Bose, Industrialist, said, “The inauguration of the Sampa Bose Memorial Charitable Renal Care & Research Centre marks the beginning of a transformative journey in affordable kidney care. The launch of its 18-bed Advanced Day Care Dialysis Unit, supported by critical care facilities, diagnostics, a pharmacy, and a dedicated team of specialists, will provide quality treatment with dignity to those who need it most. As the centre expands into a 50-bed charitable renal hospital with a world-class research laboratory and integrated wellness facilities, it will stand as a lasting legacy of compassion, innovation, and hope for countless families across West Bengal and beyond.”
