ARCHIVE OF CHIRSTIAN MISSION HOSPITAL
The Christian Mission Hospital is one of the earliest health agencies of Missionary Medical work in southern India. The Hospital evolved from a small dispensary established by the Missionary Doctor C.S. Shelton in 1849 which, in the next two years, became a hospital. till 1953 this hospital functioned as two separate units namely the hospital for women and children and the Albert Victor hospital for men, later, as the Willis F. Pierce memorial hospital for men. These two hospitals were amagamated in 1953 with a new name of Christian Mission Hospital.
Many Doctors of Western and Indian origin contributed untiringly to the steady growth of this hospital in the last one and a half century. Memorable among them are doctors Paulin Root, Harriet, E.
