History

Kamala Nehru Memorial Hospital Allahabad has been an edifice of selfless service to humanity The Institution can be justly proud of the years of providing succour to the poor downtrodden and under privileged suffering humanity The Hospital has served not only the people of Allahabad but practically most parts of Northern India and adjoining countries like Nepal and Bhutan

Kamala Nehru Memorial Hospital traces its roots to the Freedom Struggle when in the year 1931 Smt Kamala Nehru converted some rooms in her ancestral house Swaraj Bhawan into a Congress Dispensary

This mini Hospital had both indoor and out door facilities manned by patriotic doctors and other paramedical staff Presiding over it all was Kamala herself a woman frail in health but indomitable in spirits

She gave to this institution her time labour and above all compassion till her untimely death in 1936

After her sad demise Mahatma Gandhi and other national leaders like Pt Madan Mohan Malviya Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru Dr BC Roy Shri Uma Shankar Dikshit and others took it upon themselves to see that the work for which she made herself responsible was carried on even after her death Mahatma Gandhi
