The West Bengal Motion Picture Artists’ Forum has introduced a new healthcare welfare initiative for its members and employees, in collaboration with a prominent healthcare retail group. The programme was unveiled by acclaimed actor Prosenjit Chatterjee and is designed to provide enhanced medical support and wellness benefits to artistes and their families across the state.
Key Features of the Initiative
Under this initiative, members will gain access to discounts on medicines, diagnostic tests, health packages, radiology services, and home delivery facilities. Additionally, special health camps will be organised regularly. A healthcare assistance fund of Rs 30,000 has been established to support Forum members in need of medical aid.
Commemorating a Legend
The launch coincides with the birth centenary year of legendary actor Mahanayak Uttam Kumar. Forum General Secretary Shantilal Mukherjee stated that the initiative underscores the organization’s ongoing commitment to the well-being of artistes, while also honouring the memory of Uttam Kumar.
This welfare programme aims to alleviate healthcare burdens for those in the film industry, ensuring that artistes and their families receive timely and affordable medical care. The collaboration with the healthcare retail group is expected to streamline access to essential services, making a significant impact on the community's health outcomes.
