BMHRC (Bhopal Memorial Hospital & Research Centre)

“The Bhopal Gas Tragedy” in the early morning hours of December 3, 1984 was a catastrophe with no parallel in history. The accidental leakage of Methyl Isocyanate gas left more than ten thousand people dead and left about five hundred thousand people suffering from agonizing injuries. The lungs, brains, eyes, muscles as well as gastro-intestinal, neurological, reproductive and immune systems of those who survived were severely affected.

“The Bhopal Hospital Trust” was established in London in 1992 with Sir Ian Percival as its sole trustee for construction of hospital for gas victims, pursuant to order passed by Supreme Court. In 1998, the construction of the hospital began. Its aim is to provide health benefits to the gas victims free of cost. In addition as there is no good Super specialty setup in 700kms radius, it also helps the general population by providing health care at nominal cost.

“The Bhopal Memorial Hospital and Research Centre” and its “ Eight Outreach Health Centres” provide primary and tertiary care to the gas victims. Since its commissioning in July 2000 more than 450,000 patients have been treated in the hospital.
