Access to quality healthcare is a fundamental right of every human, regardless of their position, race, or religion
India and the state of West Bengal have made considerable progress since independence with the establishment of many healthcare facilities and the introduction of insurance schemes. However, access to quality healthcare remains a challenge for many, especially among the underprivileged and rural populations.
Limited access to primary healthcare can have debilitating consequences, both economic and social, for the underprivileged. A single serious illness can bankrupt the meager savings of the poor. Kolkata Foundation is working with local healthcare-focused nonprofits to find effective and low-cost answers to improving health outcomes while leveraging existing solutions.

A graduate of IIT Kanpur and IIM Kolkata, Shubhomoy has worked at several Wall Street firms as a research analyst and currently holds a senior position at Blackrock. Shubhomoy and Sanjeeta have been associated with Kolkata Foundation since 2017.
