GUIDING PRINCIPLES

CONTINUING THE BUNTAINS’ LEGACY:  We honor the legacy of our founders and the generations of caregivers who have served our community. We are steadfast in our commitment to maintaining the high standards of care and ethical values that have been the hallmark of our institution.

ACCESSIBLE HEALTHCARE:  We are unwavering in our belief that quality healthcare is a fundamental human right. We work tirelessly to ensure that our Mercy Hospital remains accessible to all, regardless of socio-economic status, religion, age, or gender so that no one is left without the care they need.

COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT:  We recognize that true impact goes beyond the hospital walls. We actively engage with our community to empower individuals with knowledge and resources, promoting physical and spiritual health at a grassroots level.

SUSTAINABILITY:  We are dedicated to the long-term sustainability of Mercy Hospital. Through prudent
stewardship of resources, innovation in healthcare practices, and strategic partnerships, we ensure that
our legacy endures for generations to come.

COMPASSIONATE CARE: We believe in the healing power of compassion. Our dedicated staff, healthcare professionals and volunteers are driven by a deep empathy for the suffering and a commitment to providing holistic care that not only treats the body but also nurtures the spirit.

MERCY HOSPITAL

Founded in 1977, Calcutta Mercy Hospital is a 173 bed general hospital serving approximately 100,000 patients per year. 40% of all care is given free of charge! Mercy Hospital provides meals for patients and families in need. 

HOPE ACADEMY

Hope Academy is a 2 year Clinical Nursing Assistant vocational training program for at-risk disadvantaged girls. Graduates are accredited to work in either clinical or home-health settings, earning a quality wage. 

SCHOOL OF NURSING

The Mercy School of Nursing provides quality education to young women, helping break cycles of poverty and societal stereotypes. The school offers a 3 year program in General Nursing and Midwifery, and is widely recognized around the world. 

RURAL & URBAN CLINICS

Mercy clinics are the only source of healthcare for thousands of patients who would otherwise have to travel excessive distance to find care, and likely would not be able to afford treatment. These clinics are meeting people where they live by providing healthcare throughout West Bengal.
