EHA

Makunda Christian Hospital completed 15 years since coming under EHA. The origin of the Makunda Christian Leprosy & General Hospital can be traced back to 1935 when Dr. Crozier started medical work at Alipur. Makinda hospital is located in a tribal populated area at the junction of three northeast states - Assam, Mizoram and Tripura. The hospital maintained its poor friendly focus, with the emphasis on minimal investigation, minimal treatment and low charges for patients. The pioneering emphasis of the hospital is stressed at every opportunity. Apart from the high quality medical care made available to the people living in Assam, the hospital also offers many training programs for the health professionals. The ANM nursing school significantly improves the poor maternal and child health mortality situation in remote rural areas, by training local women who then serve in these areas.
