Conceptualized in the year 2004 as a philanthropic initiative for the Eastern and North-Eastern
parts of India and the neighboring countries, the Tata Medical Center (TMC) started operations in
Kolkata on May 16, 2011. The hospital is governed by a charitable trust - Tata Medical Centre Trust.
It is an integrated Oncology facility with well-trained professional staff and equipped with modern
facilities and the most contemporary medical equipment. Set up at a cost of Rs. 350 crores, the
Hospital, with a capacity of 183 beds, serves all sections of the society, with 50% of the
infrastructure earmarked for free or subsidized treatment for the underprivileged sections. Tata
Medical Center is currently in an expansion mode with another 250 beds being added to the current
bed strength. The hospital provides a wide spectrum of services from diagnosis, therapy to
rehabilitation and palliative support in cancer. The Institution's objective is to excel in service,
education and research.

The mission of the department of anesthesiology, critical care and pain medicine in the hospital is
to provide state-of-the art anesthesia services, pain management, life-support for cancer patients in
intensive care. The department provides comprehensive anesthesia care right from preoperative

post anesthesia care unit/HDU/ intensive care. Acute pain services (in the hospital) and pain
management (for both acute and chronic cancer related pain) is also provided on both as out
