The Kolkata Eden Hospital, a major maternity and gynaecological hospital and part of the Kolkata Medical College Hospital, was the medical school of Mr Prabhat Chattopadhyay FRCOG. His generosity has enabled the RCOG to offer an annual prize of £350 to final year medical students or Foundation Year 1 (FY1) doctors in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
The Kolkata Eden Hospital is also notable because it is where the highly reputed Professor Green Armytage spent 25 years of his career. During his tenure, he designed ‘uterine haemostatic forceps’ which are still widely used around the world in caesarean sections.
