We have not lost faith, but we have transferred it from God to the medical profession -
George Bernard Shaw
Purpose drives excellence. And when a group of people come together, united in that purpose and fuelled by passion, they can truly move mountains. It gives me immense pleasure to be the first MSVP of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay Govt. Medical College and Hospital, Uluberia (SCCGMCH). We are going to start our dream journey from August 2022, as the first Medical College in Howrah district of West Bengal.
