Transformation through Caring
Duncan Hospital

Duncan Hospital continued to make its presence felt as a premium health care centre, catering to the health needs of Northern Bihar and neighboring Nepal. The Hospital was started by Dr. H. Cecil Duncan in 1930, and later set on its present course by Dr. Trevor Strong and his wife Patricia, establishing a fine surgical and obstetrical tradition. The hospital was managed by ‘Regions Beyond Missionary Union’ until 1974 when it was handed over to EHA. It is located in the North West region of Bihar bordering Bihar and is the only secondary referral centre run by the voluntary sector for 3 districts in North Bihar (6 million people) and Southern Nepal (5 million people). The service priorities of the hospital are Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Ophthalmology, Dentistry and Radiology.
