History

The idea of a hospital exclusively for women and children was mooted way back in 1915 when seeing the need the womens council of the Assam Baptist Convention unanimously adopted a resolution to set up such a hospital This resolution was forwarded to the American Baptist Mission who accepted it in principle but it took almost a decade for the hospital to materialize mostly on account of two reasons that a suitable location could not be decided upon and that no lady doctors were available Considering the location one group thought that this hospital should be in Jorhat which would consolidate the existing medical work already started there by Dr Kirby in 1919 The other group however opined that the need of such a hospital exclusively for women and children was greater in lower Assam where people were more conservative and would have their women examined only by a woman doctor The second school of thought won the day and it was finally decided that this hospital should be located in Gauhati now updated Guwahati
