EHA

For Kachhwa Christian Hospital it was a year of expansion and consolidation. Kachhwa Christian Hospital is located in Uttar Pradesh, 30 kilometers from Varanasi. The area has the state’s largest concentration of scheduled castes, a poor and marginalized group of people. Started by Missionaries over 100 years ago, the 15-bed hospital reached its zenith with intrepid BCMS medical missionaries under Dr Neville Everad. When they left in the early 70’s, the hospital was not easy to sustain. It reached its nadir in 2002 and was threatened with closure. Over the last five years it has gradually come back with new staff and newer and more innovative programs for reaching out to the surrounding community. The hospital serves the people from 90 villages having a population of 120,000. The service priorities of the hospital are essential clinical services, community health and spiritual ministry, micro-enterprise development, education and leadership development.
