The Kolkata Municipal Corporation Urban Health and Wellness Centre** is a community healthcare facility operated by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation to provide accessible and affordable primary healthcare services to local residents. These centers are part of KMC's initiative to strengthen neighborhood-level healthcare and bring essential medical services closer to communities.
The centre offers a range of primary healthcare services, including general outpatient consultations, treatment for common illnesses, maternal and child healthcare, immunization services, health screenings, preventive healthcare, medicine distribution, and community health awareness programs. Each Urban Health and Wellness Centre is typically staffed by a doctor, nurse, and pharmacist to ensure comprehensive basic healthcare support.
These facilities play an important role in reducing the burden on larger hospitals and Urban Primary Health Centres by providing timely medical care within local neighborhoods. The centres are designed to improve healthcare accessibility, especially for elderly residents, children, daily wage earners, and families who may find it difficult to travel to larger healthcare institutions
