OUR HISTORY
1. As early as 1922, dedicated missionaries from the Presbyterian Church USA started small dispensary for a mission of Christian health care in this region along with the Church. Initially the dispensary catered just to the poor in the immediate vicinity mainly woman and children, but soon it could not suffice the region which made expansion inevitable to a bigger hospital and 6 acres of land was purchased in the outskirts of Kasganj. The hospital started Auxiliary Nurse and Midwifery (ANM) training in the year 1950 which was upgraded to General Nursing Training (GNM) in the year 1982. The G.N.M. Training is affiliated to Uttar Pradesh State Medical Faculty, Recognized by Uttar Pradesh State Nurses & Midwives Council, Lucknow and Indian Nursing Council, New Delhi. In the year 1975 the hospital achieved a milestone by converting itself into a General Hospital providing health care to men, woman and children of the community of Kasganj and surrounding villages.
