Hospital services in this area are not available and the patients particularly the pregnant mother and the patients in acute cases have to travel at risk a long way to Diamond Harbour Hospital or to Kolkata in any medical college Hospital. In order to obviate this difficulty a suitable Maternity Home cum General Hospital is felt absolutely necessary. In the villages there are no doctors available and quacks help is the only alternative. Birth of the children depends mostly at Home with the support of Local Dai (Untrained Midwife). To make the institutional delivery of the pregnant women and moderns and scientific treatment for common ailment a modern Maternity Home cum General Hospital would be the most useful establishment.
