Health for All, a charitable community healthcare program, was formally introduced by AM Medical Centre to improve underprivileged populations’ access to necessary medical services and encourage preventive healthcare. The initiative’s primary tenet is that having access to high-quality healthcare should always be a basic right rather than a privilege.

Prominent figures from government, public service, business, and the creative community attended the launch ceremony, demonstrating a shared dedication to inclusive healthcare.

The occasion was graced by Mr. Debasish Kumar, Member of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly and Deputy Chief Whip, Government of West Bengal, Shri R. S. Goenka, Co-Founder & Joint Chairman, Emami Group; Shri Hari Prasad Budhia, Visionary Chairman, Patton Group, and others.

The event also saw the presence of Shri Awanti Kumar Kankaria, Director, Indian Jute Mills Association, and Director at Hek Solar Energy Limited, Kelvin Ecopack Limited, Kanak Textiles Ltd, and Score Infovision Limited, Mr. Arindam Sil, acclaimed Indian actor and film director, and Shri Ravi Todi, Managing Director, BTL EPC Ltd, ShrachiAgrimech, and Managing Partner, South City Projects (Kolkata) Ltd.

The director of AM Medical Centre, Dr. Moon Chattaraj, a gold-medalist prosthodontist with almost 20 years of experience in implant and cosmetic dentistry, was present to further enhance the program. His leadership has been crucial in growing the Centre’s clinical footprint and patient-centric services across specialties.

A systematic, community-focused healthcare program called Health for All aims to close gaps in primary and preventive healthcare by providing early diagnosis, routine medical consultations, and reasonably priced access to necessary diagnostic tests. The program offers a structured healthcare solution for families in need of ongoing medical assistance, with a focus on economically disadvantaged neighborhoods.

The initiative ensures equitable access to healthcare by allowing BPL cardholders to register and receive free medical services. The services, which cover both preventative care and vision-related health concerns, include free general physician consultations, eye consultations, cataract evaluation, and surgical advice when clinically necessary.

The Health Privilege Card, a comprehensive yearly healthcare plan created to provide long-term medical benefits through an organized and reasonably priced format, was introduced by AM Medical Centre as part of the program.
The Health Privilege Card, which costs Rs 1,999 and is good for a year, provides continuity of care for households by covering the principal cardholder and one family member.

AM Medical Centre wants to create a scalable and long-lasting community healthcare paradigm that emphasizes early intervention, long-term patient participation, and preventive screening through Health for All. The program is a reflection of the organization’s dedication to meaningful community impact, ethical healthcare delivery, and social responsibility.

With the introduction of Health for All, AM Medical Centre solidifies its standing as a reliable healthcare organization committed to improving inclusive healthcare practices and public health outcomes throughout Kolkata and beyond.
