Siliguri sits in the narrow corridor between Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan that connects the rest of India to the north-east, and Matigara is on the western approach where the hill road from Darjeeling and Kalimpong meets the plains. The hospital is therefore a referral point not only for Siliguri and Jalpaiguri but for the Darjeeling hills, the Dooars tea belt and parts of Sikkim, for whom the alternative is a long journey to Kolkata.
