[edit]History
Sogore Dutt Charitable Hospital and Dispensary initially started as a philanthropic organization with an objective of all round health care of the poor peasants and industrial workers of Kamarhati and adjoining areas. Its immense service to fulfill the objectives was recognized when the then Medical Secretary, Dr. Anderson, on his India tour, visited ‘a rural hospital and dispensary situated outside Calcutta, the Sogore Dutt Charitable Hospital and Dispensary’ in January, 1937. (1) The Sagore Dutt Hospital Act, 1958 (Act 14 of 1958) was enforced with effect from the 1st March 1959, vide notification No. Medl./852/14-84/58, dated 30/01/1959, published in the Calcutta Gazette of 1959, Part 1, page 662. The Act provided for the taking over of Sagore Dutt Hospital at Kamarhatty in the district of 24 Parganas together with the charitable dispensary attached thereto, by the State Government with a view to the promotion of public health. In the Department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of West Bengal memo No. HF/O/MERT/1137/W-52/10, dated 4.8.2010 sanction was accorded for setting up a medical college (with 100 M.B.B.S. students annual intake capacity) in the campus of Sagore Dutta State General Hospital in North 24 Parganas District. Medical Council of India conducted its statutory inspection of the College of Medicine and Sagore Dutta Hospital on 8th and 9th March, 2011 and hopefully, the M.B.B.S. students will be admitted in due course. 1.
