The organisations also intend to explore joint training and development initiatives to strengthen the capabilities of the healthcare workforce.

Our partnership with Charnock Hospitals is built around this approach – bringing technology and clinical needs together from the outset to create a strong foundation for delivering consistent care as the network grows. Charnock Hospitals has been steadily strengthening its healthcare presence in West Bengal, and we are pleased to partner with them as they continue that journey.”
