DONATE GENEROUSLY FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADATION OF THE FIRST PEDIATRIC INSTITUTE OF INDIA.
About Institute of Child Health, Kolkata
The Institute of Child Health (ICH) was set up by Dr K.C. Chaudhuri, the doyen of Indian pediatrics, in Kolkata in 1956. This is a trust run hospital on a no-profit ideal.
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Minister, inaugurated the institute on 16 January 1957. ICH continues to offer medical and surgical services to the ailing, and especially, the under- privileged children of the society.
ICH promotes pediatrics as a prime branch of study and investigation in medical teaching and practice in India. It embodies a medical vision: the optimal development of a healthy child into a healthy individual. Yes, it is taking care of ailing children “in every possible way.”
ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
“What one receives from the society, one is morally obliged to return some of it back to the society” professed Professor Apurba Ghosh, Director of ICH, Kolkata. Some of these guiding principles have shaped the life and services of the professor, who has spent over four decades treating and curing children seamlessly of the deadliest of diseases with passion and compassion. Ever ready to help the poorest of the poor, the needy, the destitute, the abandoned kid, Dr Ghosh has made it his mission to provide the best possible care to an ailing child, irrespective of his/her background, at the lowest possible cost. This is an ethos he has inherited from his revered teachers and seniors at ICH and which he pursues with all seriousness and zeal. Fondly called “Dhanwantary” by the numerous parents and guardians who have a smile on their face today, Dr Ghosh has successfully treated many difficult and rare cases. He has special interest in dysmorphology and growth related disorders in children, endocrinological disorders, genetic conditions and rare diseases. Quite a number of rare diseases have been reported by him whose diagnosis would have been otherwise remain unrevealed, and in a way he has been a pioneer to diagnose and manage rare syndromes in the eastern part of India. The growth and dysmorphology was started by him years ago, at Institute of Child Health, Kolkata.Professor Ghosh loves academics to the core. An avid reader, and an early riser, Dr Ghosh had carved a disciplined and hard working life schedule, which is worth emulating for anyone who wishes to succeed. He has a special love for modern gadgets and is dynamic in the truest sense. Be it the practice of medicine, teaching or administration, he enthuses his dynamism and juggles effortlessly in the three arenas. A devoted teacher, who has proved that knowledge, is ageless and a doctor needs to update his knowledge time and again if he wishes to serve the society sincerely. He has been an eminent teacher for the past 40 years serving, now as professor and principal of the college. He has contributed immensely to the growth and expanse of the Institute, which he joined himself as a Junior Resident way back in 1979, after graduating with laurels from Guwahati Medical College, Assam. Over the last forty years, he moved ladder to ladder and assumed Directorship at a young age of 46. Under his command, the Institute made several achievements including addition of a nursing college in September 2020, to educate and train nurses, a pressing demand in the country today. A great visionary leader, who has driven the oldest pediatric hospital of India to become a tertiary care hospital of trust for millions and a center of learning for young doctors, nurses, and paramedical, is now on a war path to create a new modern hospital with advanced facilities for the coming generations of children and doctors alike.
