West Bengal’s Healthcare Landscape

West Bengal, home to 10 crore+ people, is a major healthcare hub of Eastern India with strong medical infrastructure in Kolkata, Howrah, Siliguri, Durgapur, Asansol. However, a large population in rural districts — especially Murshidabad, Malda, North 24 Parganas, Jalpaiguri, Purulia — still struggles with access to diagnostics, preventive screening, and timely medical consultation.

The growing burden of diabetes, hypertension, asthma, lung diseases, and anemia has increased the need for digital health solutions.
