Kothari Medical Centre (KMC), based in Kolkata, is recognized as Eastern India's premier tertiary care hospital. It has earned national and global acclaim for its commitment to delivering high-quality, yet affordable, healthcare within an enhanced patient environment.
The foundation of KMC traces back to the vision of its founder, Shri G.D. Kothari, a notable philanthropist. His goal was to consolidate the region's best medical and surgical talent, alongside advanced diagnostic and surgical facilities, all under a single roof. This vision began to take concrete shape in 1971 with the establishment of the Kothari Centre for Gastroenterology, which ultimately paved the way for the development of the high-performing Kothari Medical Centre we know today.
The main institute, situated at 8/3 Alipore Road, Kolkata, is a striking 10-storey, 360-bedded, centrally air-conditioned hospital. This facility beautifully blends a commitment to traditional medical heritage and values with cutting-edge contemporary medical practices.
KMC’s guiding motto, "Dedicated to Specialised Medical Care," underscores its long-established reputation for service excellence. The Centre is committed to ensuring the best possible patient comfort and care throughout the entire stay, offering comprehensive medical services that span from diagnostics and investigations to various therapies, surgeries, and essential post-operative care.
Expanding its reach, a second unit of the Kothari Medical Centre was inaugurated in Bikaner on March 2, 1998. This 150-bedded, multi-faculty super-specialty hospital upholds the same standard of providing exceptional medical expertise and care, supported by sophisticated, technologically advanced equipment.
In 2020, Kothari Medical Centre further broadened its contribution to the healthcare sector by launching the Kothari Institute of Nursing. This institute commenced with the General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) and B.Sc. (Nursing) programs. In the coming years, this initiative is poised to supply crucial support to the healthcare industry by meeting the growing demand for quality, skilled nursing professionals.
