Ruby General Hospital has Celebrated its 30th Anniversary

News Desk, News Nation 360 : On April 25, 2025, Ruby General Hospital celebrated its 30th anniversary. Hon. Chief Minister Jyoti Basu officially opened the hospital on April 25, 1995, making it Eastern India's first NRI hospital. On October 27, 1995, Mother Teresa officially opened the Mother Teresa Ward and the Cardiac Surgery Unit. By 2025, it will have 500 beds and a cancer centre, according to Dr. Kamal K. Dutta, the founder and chairman. We currently have 356 beds. The main objective of Ruby Hospital was to provide high-quality care at a reasonable price. For five years in a row, from 2021 to 2025, Newsweek Magazine in the United States named Ruby the only hospital in Eastern India among the top 50 hospitals in India. Ruby Cancer Centre is an extremely modern and state-of-the-art cancer centre. It has treated individuals in Eastern India for the last decade. On the foundation day of the hospital, a second state-of-the-art radiotherapy machine was inaugurated. It is the Varian TrueBeam, Version 3.0. It is an extremely user-friendly machine. It possesses a sophisticated tumour mapping system for cancer. It also employs an Eclipse version 18 planning system to deliver accurate radiation therapy to tumours. Ruby Hospital is also introducing Kolkata's first Digital PET Scan. This will decrease PET CT scan time from 30 minutes to 5 minutes. Patients will also be exposed only to one-third of the normal radiation dose. This scanner will offer sharper images. Installation of the PET CT is already underway. These two systems, the Varian TrueBeam and the Digital PET CT, shall bring Ruby Cancer Centre to the number one position as a cancer care hospital in Eastern India. Ruby General Hospital shall be opening 30 outreach Cancer Speciality Clinics as a part of its 30-year celebration. These shall be located in various districts of West Bengal in the financial year 2025-26. The first clinic is being opened in Burdwan. This clinic will provide specialised oncology consultations three times a week. It will also have a Multidisciplinary Tumour Board once per month, beginning in July 2025. This is for early detection, which improves survival rates. It also maximises proper treatment planning with multidisciplinary input. This will decrease waiting times for treatment. It will also enhance patient outcomes. The price of treatment will be lower, and patients will enjoy a better quality of life.
