[edit] Re-phrasing to somthing other than "Hospital"

Wiki referes to an hospital as "... an institution for health care provided by physicians, surgeons, nurses, and other professionals".

From what I have read, here people get a fieldbed and some food, otherwise they are left to die with little or no qualified care.

The home for the dying was refered to by Dr. Aroup Chatterjee, the author of the book Mother Teresa: The Final Verdict, as "... the grimmest place imaginable".

Additionaly acusations of sacramental baptisms have been performed on up to 30.000 of the dying (a majority of which were Hindus and Muslims), thus converting them to the Catholic faith surfaced in the 1990's.

Please researge and expand the article

[edit] Added criticisms of the Home for the Dying

You are correct, the place was a filth hole because the so called "saint" built convents with charity money instead of actually helping the poor. This section counts as one of the criticisms of Mother Teresa. Intranetusa 00:35, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

In Kalighat, dying people have a shelter and some food, wich is much more than what poorest people have in India. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.50.67.145 (talk) 15:30, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
