BRIEF HISTORY OF LILUAH RAILWAY HOSPITAL.


Liluah Railway hospital began its journey as a primary health care services provider for the Railway people working at Liluah Carriage & Wagon Workshop in the year 1948. Previously it was meant only for OPD services and attention for accidental injury patients of workshop. It was headed by Workshop Medical Officer, Dr. K.N. Biswas. The hospital was started on a building which was used by the British people as stable. Only 20 beds in the indoor facilities were available in the beginning. With the able vision and guidance of Dr. J.M. Ghosh in the 1960s the hospital expanded with inclusion of OPD, Pathology & Chest wings, the indoor bed facility was increased to 101. At that time Tuberculosis was rampant in the industrial workplaces and for that reason a 20 bedded chest patients’ ward was absolutely necessary.
In the year 1991 Mr. Gouri Shankar, the then General Manager, Eastern Railway has inaugurated a new store building and later on a Physiotherapy Unit was started in the same building. In the year 1996 a USG Unit was inaugurated by the then General Manager, Mr. A.P. Murugesan.
