Prashant Sharma, MD of Charnock Hospital, said, “Charnock Hospital has an immediate vision of expanding with 100-200-beds. We plan to have a cancer facility by April 2025 and we will be treating Swasthya Sathi patients. Our hospital is moderately priced, so that both the rich and poor can get treated here. We plan to scale up our bed capacity to 1000 in West Bengal in future.”
