It started as a mission. A mission to affordable healthcare within easy reach of the common man. Born as a 12-bed maternity hospital with the blessings of His Holiness Sri Sri Mohanananda Brahmachari Maharaj in 1952, Behala Balananda Brahmachari Hospital And Research Centre today has transformed into a multi-discipline modern     medical institution with 158 beds in the general category, 15-bed critical care unit and six modern operation heaters. While the hospital has grown into an institution, touching and changing lives of thousands of patients, its core values and original mission has remained intact. The dedication and ultimate goal of the doctors and staff has remained the same – serve the ailing without the motive of profit.
