Although these conditions can cause significant discomfort and loss of quality of life, they often remain neglected, undetected, and untreated.

The emergency wing operates 24/7, equipped with fully-equipped ambulance services to bring patients to our ENT hospital and treat those with injured or traumatized ears, noses, throats, heads, or necks.

In today's age of specialization, it is crucial to keep upgrading our professional skills. The ENT hospital in Kolkata has been at the forefront of providing cutting-edge treatment, including advanced diagnostics and complex surgeries like skull base surgery for brain tumors, cochlear implantation for the deaf, and complex airway surgeries for windpipe narrowing. Our team collaborates to ensure you receive the best care at all times and maintains continuity of care.
