A:
Kalighat, the Home of the Pure Heart (Nirmal Hriday) (formerly Kalighat Home for the Dying) is a hospice for the sick, destitute and the dying in Kalighat, Kolkata (Calcutta), India, established by Mother Teresa in a former Hindu temple annex donated to her for the purpose. Its primitive facilities were summed up by Christopher Hitchens, "The care facilities are grotesquely simple ... miles behind any modern conception of what medical science is supposed to do…Very rightly it is said that she tends to the dying, because if you were doing anything but dying she really hasn't got much to offer."
