Spread over 21,000 sq ft, the proposed hospital will have a free bed capacity of 70, a paid bed capacity of 20, and six operating theaters.

The Kolkata unit of Netaji Eye Hospital will complement the Purulia unit, which has recently undergone a SEF USA-supported renovation. It is expected to generate substantially higher paid surgery revenue, thereby becoming a critical part of NEH’s plan to be financially self-sufficient. Once complete, the Kolkata hospital will serve a population of over nine million people.
