    SSKM hospital which we know as PG hospital. it is very large hospital and reputed. It is locate in Rabindra Sadan. A few day ago I want to see a doctor in the gastroenterology department. All though the behaviour of doctor here is good, the behavior of medical staff / security guard is not good. It is a low cost hospital. So there is a lot of crowd here. In one day, 300 to 350 patients come to see a department. So the sooner you can come in the morning, the sooner you can see the doctor. However, the security guards here deliberately put the people who came later first in exchange for some money. Every department is different and very clean. Cardiology, Blood Bank, Gastroenterology, Pathology etc. The duration of treatment for SSKM is very late. SSKM is not right for you if you want early treatment. Therefore, we request the SSKM authorities to expedite the medical period as soon as possible.

    All the hospital in west Bengal have changed radically since the present government came to power. That is why it is no exception. Here are the categories of patients needed. Department service and 24 hours emergency service is offered. In-stock medicine and treatment are provided free of charge. There are state government low cost drugs sales centers. It is the medical college that has sufficient doctors for ever department. Patients are given three times appropriate amounts of food.

    Went to this hospital for the Covid vaccination. Genuinely, one of the cleanest, busiest and well authorised hospital at Kolkata. Visited for the first time during evening hours, usually it becomes uncomfortable to visit a hospital at any time though, however, it was completely relaxing and warm atmosphere in the premises. Vaccination program is going on in the auditorium, where it's very nice and cosy seating arrangement. The doctors and nurses are very cooperative and makes you feel free of any worries. Everything seemed to have managed so well, within 30 minutes we concluded and left from there.

    The worst government hospital I have ever been in my life. I came with my mother and my father. At entrg point the security staff have zero manners to talk with patients. They scream at elderly people. If anyone goes out of the hospital. It's next to impossible to enter the hospital for the next time. The government hospital don't have the value to time it's kind of normal in kolkata and also it goes without saying. From next time i will definitely not visiting again.

    Worst experience ever was in a hospital, the handle patents like animals, they think those patients who need immediate assistance in emergency situation they can walk, run, dance etc. etc. they don't provide a wheelchair to them. The faculty is updated no doubt but the faculty is mainly for other powerful peoples and for the staff and relatives of the staff that's what I see in this hospital by visiting. The worst part is the *Management of this Hospital* and *Attentive of the Doctors*, i mistakenly chose it for good treatment by referring people but it's the worst decision I ever taken. If you've sufficient money please found another hospital but avoid this hospital if you want immediate assistance or in emergency.

    One of the gorgeous buildings of Kolkata, the administration of the hospital was quite good. They have announcements over a speaker tellings patients about COVID-19 guidelines and who is next in line for investigations and who the doctor can see now. The canteen was quite good as well, especially tea. The park in the middle of the hospital is a welcome thing, I actually sat down there. All in all, cheers to the medical staff. Stay Safe, Stay Healthy.

    SSKM Hospital, also known as Seth Sukhlal Karnani Memorial Hospital, is a renowned healthcare institution located in Kolkata, West Bengal. As one of the oldest and largest hospitals in the region, SSKM Hospital plays a vital role in providing medical care and services to the community. Having visited the hospital on several occasions, I would like to share my review based on the overall experience. First and foremost, SSKM Hospital boasts a wide range of medical specialties and departments, catering to diverse healthcare needs. From general medicine and surgery to specialized areas such as cardiology, neurology, and oncology, the hospital has dedicated departments staffed by experienced doctors, nurses, and support staff. The availability of a comprehensive range of medical services under one roof is a significant advantage for patients seeking multi-disciplinary care. The infrastructure of SSKM Hospital is impressive, with well-maintained buildings and facilities. The hospital has undergone renovations and expansions over the years to accommodate the growing patient load and advancements in medical technology. The spacious wards, well-equipped operation theaters, and modern diagnostic facilities contribute to providing quality healthcare services. One of the key strengths of SSKM Hospital is the presence of highly skilled and knowledgeable medical professionals. The doctors at the hospital are known for their expertise and dedication in their respective fields. During my visits, I have received attentive and compassionate care from the medical staff who take the time to listen, explain procedures, and address any concerns. The nursing staff also deserves appreciation for their round-the-clock support and professionalism. SSKM Hospital is a teaching hospital affiliated with the prestigious Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (IPGMER). This association allows for the involvement of medical students and resident doctors in patient care, contributing to a learning environment and fostering academic excellence. It also ensures that the hospital stays updated with the latest medical advancements and practices. Given the high patient load and demand for services, waiting times at SSKM Hospital can be lengthy, especially in the outpatient departments. However, efforts have been made to streamline the processes and improve patient flow. The hospital administration continues to work towards optimizing waiting times and enhancing the overall patient experience. While SSKM Hospital provides medical care at subsidized rates for economically disadvantaged patients, it can get crowded due to the large volume of patients it serves. This can sometimes lead to challenges in terms of managing crowds and maintaining a peaceful environment. However, the hospital staff does their best to manage the situation and ensure the well-being of patients. In conclusion, SSKM Hospital in Kolkata is a reputable healthcare institution that provides a wide range of medical services and specialties. With its competent medical professionals, modern infrastructure, and commitment to patient care, the hospital plays a significant role in serving the healthcare needs of the community. While there may be challenges associated with patient volume and waiting times, the hospital's dedication to delivering quality medical care remains commendable.

    I am not here to say anything about the Hospital sincerely because me or my relatives didn't get admitted there. But this is my experience when I went to buy medicines from there. This Guard had a very rude attitude towards every patient who was not wearing a mask. Whereas as seen he was himself not wearing one. When asked he simply gave me a lecture about Covid Vaccines and their usage. I sincerely hope he gets the help he needs.

    Doctors are really good and well experienced. But behaviour of the nurses and medical staffs is pathetic. They don't even treat patients like human beings. 0% respectful towards the patients, specially the male stuffs. Few days back I visited this place for checkup. Doctor prescribed me some tests, so I went to the test counter and asked if this tests facilities are available over here or not. They made me wait for 3 hours in line and finally told that I need to go to some other building. At that point of time, all the rest of the counters were closed. This is just an example how they treat the patients. I would like to request our #government to kindly look into this matter. It's an issue most of the patients are facing in government authorised hospitals.

    The greatest there was, the greatest there will be. This is the largest and greatest medical College and research centre of west Bengal. This historical medical College has the most high tech features that you may wonder if it's actually a Government Medical College and Hospital. The students are very polite, humble. You can see wisdom reflecting from their eyes. Their faces assure that the future of healthcare of our country is in safe hands. And nothing to say about the SSKM hospital, one of the most well maintained and reputed hospitals in India.

    The behaviour of the nurse and junior doctors are very bad. They are not at all co operative and helpful. This incident happened in Gynac ward. They didn't even care about patient's health. They were buzy playing with their cell phone. They put blood bottle to the patient but they forgot to remove the same, when bottle is empty. If people require some help the nurses demand the patient to reach them but the nurses were buzy playing with their phone. I want the Honorable Chief minister Mamta Banerjee to please look in to the matter. Making the hospital only clean is not going to work.

    This Hospital has a history. At first treatment of whites were done here. Ronald Ross was discovered the Malaria parasite and invented Quinine here more than hundred years before. Basically its famous name to the people is Post Graduation Medical College (P.G.). Now a days here the M.B.B.S. course also done. Now a days Bangur Institute of Neuroscience is amalgamated with the main Hospital. Every day many people come to here for treatment and hospitalisation.

    Very helpful and nice arrangements. I went for my Covid Dose 2 vaccine. I went around 2 pm and they did the whole process within one hour 20 mins. They have air conditioning auditorium for waiting and they maintained all covid protocol. I strongly recommend the SSKM hospital, authority's and entire team. Thanks and all good wishes.

    The most unorganized place where paper work is more important than someone's life. My father was admitted recently since he met with an accident, there was a huge blood loss also he has diabetes. All of these were informed to the doctor and nurses. But they were unable to do the dressing properly. Also they did not advise to provide blood (since there was a huge amount of blood loss). When we shifted him to another hospital, it was found that his sugar is high, also the wound got infected since sskm did the dressing only once that too in improper manner. The nurses were pretending that this is the best place to get the best treatment. May be it has the best equipment. But they do not know how to take care of a patient. If anyone has source they can be treated. Otherwise for middle class family or a common person this place is not at all good. I had source but in spite of that I had the worst experience. May be from academic point of view it is very good, but from the treatment perspective it is not at all good.

    The best government hospital in Kolkata hands down due to the sheer scale of the hospital, variety of treatments offered, quality of medical professionals and state-of-the-art medical treatment available for everyone at none or negligible cost. This hospital is still called by many by its colonial era name PG (Presidency General) Hospital. The only disadvantage is the huge crowds that flock to the hospital everyday which causes serpentine queues and takes very long to go through your medical treatment.

    Best Govt. Hospital of West Bengal. All kinds of treatments are provided here. You will definitely find relatively good doctors here. Due to high demands you would find a long queue to get doctor's appointments. In the case of emergency hospitalisation you need some references. This need to be stop.

    It is one of the most prestigious and efficient medical colleges in India. So many talented doctors work here and so many are working as well. Cleaning staff always try their best to keep the place clean but general people, guardian of patients, need to take the blame for dirty /unhygienic feel.

    Behavior of doctor are so good but i am not accomplish with the behavior of other staff. Some building conditions are not good. Especially whenever you stood in front of orthopedic Centre you may got chance to admit in emergency. Govt should take some immediate action on it. Otherwise except this service of the hospital is praiseworthy.
