ABP Ananda Special Interview with Kallol Ghosh
Offer India brings free healthcare for children
Many children in West Bengal grow up without safety, schooling and proper healthcare. Some work on the streets to survive. Others face exploitation and trafficking. Children living with HIV, AIDS and Thalassemia struggle even more, as treatment is costly and very hard to access.
Offer India works closely to fill the gap. The team gives children a safe home, education, healthcare and training. It even works with their families, so that the change lasts for a long time. Today, the effort supports nearly 5000 children. Behind this stands one man who began with a small act of kindness. His name is Kallol Ghosh.He was recently featured on ABP Ananda, a top Bengali news channel. The feature shared his long work for children with Thalassemia, HIV and AIDS. He is the director of Offer India. Over four decades, he has stood up for orphaned and vulnerable children of West Bengal.While speaking to the media, he shared his vision for the children of West Bengal. He wants every child to grow up safe, educated and healthy. A key part of the vision is a new hospital for children who cannot afford proper medical care.
How will the new hospital help children in need?
Offer India has now started a new hospital for children in need. The Offer Integrated multi-speciality hospital has an experienced team of doctors. They will treat children free of cost. Care will reach the children in the Offer home and those in the 26 childcare homes all over the state.The hospital will offer diagnostic services, advanced therapies, rehabilitation and nutrition support. These services improve the quality of life and life expectancy for the children. For a child with Thalassemia, regular medical care can make a major difference.
What is Kallol Ghosh's promise to the children?
Speaking about the hospital, Kallol Ghosh said: “It is a proud moment for us to start a noble cause for the betterment of children.” He added that the hospital will treat poor and underprivileged children all over the state. He also made a clear promise: “We pledge that our services would not be commercialised in any way in the near future.”
The hospital builds on the earlier work of Offer India. The group already cares for special children and HIV-positive children. It gives them healthcare and training for a better future. The new hospital offers an extra layer of support, so each child can look forward to a healthy and happy life.The ABP Ananda feature shows how the care of Kallol Ghosh keeps growing.
