Almost opposite the Victoria Memorial, is a small arched gate at the western end of SSKM Hospital, there is a tablet commemorating the discovery by Sir Ronald Ross in 1898 that malarial fevers were caused by parasites carried by the Anopheles mosquito. Ronald Ross, (13 May 1857 – 16 September 1932), was an Indian-born British medical doctor who received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1902 for his work on malaria, becoming the first British Nobel laureate, and the first born outside of Europe. He was quite a polymath, writing a number of poems, published several novels, and composed songs. He was also an amateur artist and natural mathematician. He worked in the Indian Medical Service for 25 years. It was during his service that he made the groundbreaking medical discovery. He had carried out years of painstaking research in the hospital laboratory just behind the gate. He visited PG Hospital in January 1927, when the "Gate of Commemoration" bearing his statue and poem in the plaque was unveiled by Lord Lytton. A must see for Kolkata visitors.

His discovery of the malarial parasite in the gastrointestinal tract of a mosquito in 1897 proved that malaria was transmitted by mosquitoes, and laid the foundation for the method of combating the disease. He was a polymath, writing a number of poems, published several novels, and composed songs. He was also an amateur artist and natural mathematician.

Sir Ronald Ross Memorial..... who recieved Nobel Prize in 1902

better than just ever....

Be there when u visit Kolkata to pay homage to one of great inventors who saved millions of lives from Malaria

From Prosenjit Das Gupta's "10 Walks in Calcutta" (HarperCollins, 2000): Towards the western end of SSKM Hospital, almost opposite the Victoria Memorial, is a small arched and pedimented gate with a tablet commemorating the discovery by Sir Ronald Ross in 1898 that malarial fevers were caused by parasites carried by the Anopheles mosquito. He had carried out years of painstaking research in a hospital laboratory just behind the gate. This earned Sir Ronald the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1902, the first time for anyone in India. SSKM Hospital itself has a hallowed tradition, having been set up as fully as 1800, on a property that had been originally purchased in 1768 from the Rev. John Kiernander. The red-brick buildings within a huge compound have the quiet elegance and dignity of nineteenth century architecture.

Good. It is a part off IPGMEIR/ SSKM medical college or PG hospital. Burn ward and plastic surgery department is placed at the 2nd floor of this building . Ligation ward and central library is placed a at the 3rd floor of this building . In this building lift facility for all are available here .

Beautiful museum on Sir Ronald Ross, Noble laureate, his activities and used materials.

Good

Al kinds of test facility is available here

our pride....

No need to go inside the hospital and search. Difficult to find. It’s on the main road. Right if the main hospital/college gate. It’s A gate and a small room.

Inside the Ronald Ross Block of SSKM hospital (formerly known as Presidency General hospital), there is a heritage laboratory. There is a plaque on the wall of the laboratory which says that in this laboratory, Ronald Ross made his iconic discovery that malaria is caused by the bite of the mosquitoes in 1898. For this great discovery, he won Nobel prize in 1902. He was the first British as well as the first person from Kolkata to win Nobel prize.

Good but ground level service like form collect, registration,doctors' signature ,again form submit to collect visitor card collection is very lengthy process.

Good place for a short visit
