ALIPORESOCIALWELFARETRUST AnnualReport AREPORT RespectedElders,Brothers&Sisters, 2008-09 was an important year for Alipore Social Welfare Trust's evolution and growth as it comprehensively tested our will to survive, succeed and flourish in the midst of current socio- economic, cultural and political situation. The strength of a ship is not tested by the miles navigated in calm water, but by it resilience to withstand the vagaries of the turbulent seas that challenges its very existence. The DNA of an organisation is tested not by its growth potential in good times but its strength to seamlessly sustain through its very survival. Milestones are an important part of journey. They reflect the distance travelled and show the road ahead. Milestones are also occasions to pause and celebrate, regroup and refuel for the journey ahead. In Alipore Social Welfare Trust, we look at milestones that reflect value as seen by our elders, our colleagues, our well-wishers, our donors, our beneficiaries,ourpatientsandourvolunteers. We believe that our consistency is a result of our strategic insights, the conviction to invest on those insights and the ability to rigorously execute and convert the insights to reality. Achieving these landmarks, in a tough environment for the services provided by us in Healthcare and Educational Reliefs and Scholarships was satisfying. Extending our record of accomplishment set over past thirteen years as a Trust and eight years as a Hospitalwasrewarding. Being the most critical part of the process, incubation is a time for forward looking decisions and introspective reflections.

(1) ALLTREATMENTSUNDERONEROOF ASWT's participation in building a healthy community manifests itself through 2 ALIPORESOCIALWELFARETRUST AnnualReport initiatives in several areas of healthcare. Alipore Hospital has been serving the sick for the past 8 years, irrespective of any bar of caste, creed, colour or religion. Since inception, that is, 4th June, 2001, we, at Alipore Hospital, have rendered services in General Surgery and Emergency (Casualty) Departments and then we gradually started introducing various departments one after another in the next three years, like Cardiology and General Medicine, Orthopaedic, Radiology and Sonology, ICCU & Surgical ICU, Pathology, Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT), Psychology, Dermatology, Urology, Gynaecology, Neuro-Surgery Consulting, Paediatric, Imaging, Anaesthesia, Laparoscopy and Arthroscopy, Heamo-Dialysis Department and a MedicalStore,soastoenablealltheservicesunderoneroof. To serve and provide better and adequate healthcare to the sick and needy patients, treating them with the best available medical facilities at Alipore Hospital by our Team of Medical Consultants in Various Departments under One Roof, is our first priority. This we achieved by personally contacting medical consultants from nearby cities and towns, requesting and encouraging them to visit Alipore Hospital and by offering them excellent facilities and infrastructure for operations and other medical investigations in our premises. Technology and adopting frequent updated equipmentjustaddstothebetterserviceswecouldprovide. We would like to remind you, that we did mentioned in our earlier report, on the 1st anniversary of Alipore Hospital, the services rendered in various departments and the operations performed here were never imagined or heard previously in this part of the country where a patient has no other option and have to suffer severely. Since January 2002, we introduced Free OPD Dispensary Service, check-up / consulting by our Medical Officers and Housemen where One-Day Medicine is given at a token rate of Rs. 5/- per day. This was only possible because of Almighty's blessings and mercy on us and also because of prayers and good wishesofalltheelders,youngstersandbenefactors.
