Christian Hospital Tank

The present hospital can accommodate 77-85 patients depending on how many extra beds are squeezed into the wards. There is a male and female side quite separate from each other and pleasant shaded courtyards for relatives there are medical, surgical, and obstetric wards and a rehabilitation centre. There is a busy operation schedule and a busy out patients department. Women patients always exceed the men and many children are treated. A dental chair awaits a dentist to restart that part of the ministry which was sadly closed after the loss of the Dentist in 1998. A limited amount of ophthalmic work is also done. Since 1980 the Mission Hospital has been involved in caring for Afghan refugees though in recent years the numbers have decreased. Patients relatives are responsible for feeding the patients so the courtyards are busy and cooking facilities are available
