The Hospital that has become a name that spells assurance for the well-being of the patients has completed one hundred years of health care delivery and Nursing Education Services. It is quite satisfying to turn back the pages of history when starting from a humble beginning as a Dispensary by the Medical Missionaries from Wales, Dr. H Gordon Roberts (1885 – 1961) and his team. By the grace of God, the 90 bedded Hospital (1922) with Diploma training School for Nurses has now been upgraded to a 350 bedded Hospital with qualified and dedicated Medical, Administrative and support staff and a College of Nursing. The Hospital also has to its credit, a network of community health and referral services through 4 (four) Rural Health Centres in the State.
Plans are underway to constantly increase and improve the services that the Hospital offers, both in curative and preventive health care applications. We are committed to make available to the public the benefits of modern medical technology. Life is about living every second to the fullest and about making every day an experience to enjoy and cherish. It is also with immense pleasure to announce that the Hospital being one of the oldest Missionary Hospitals in the North East of India, is launching a brand new website that was made possible
with In Town Solutions – A website design and development service provider based in Shillong. This website will provide more comprehensive information about the Hospital services to the public which is easy to navigate. It also features a streamlined, modern design, improved functionality, and easy access to essential information to help users find what they need in just few clicks of a button.
The new website offers user friendly access to expert information about the Hospital conditions, Doctors in position, other Health care professionals, Nursing Education, medical tests, treatments and much more. Visitors to the site can request appointment, learn about services available, medical specialties etc.
The website will be updated regularly with the latest information and news from health care sections. We would love to have your feedback about the new website. Drop us a message of your experience in accessing the website.
It is delighted that the Hospital will have the Website which will be more informative ways than before. The Hospital is completing 100 years of its existence in 2022 and has gone through ups and downs but now has gained higher ground by the blessing of our Lord and Almighty God. The Hospital has been able to give health care for patients requiring dialysis, ICU, paediatric surgeries, surgical oncology and chemotherapy, child health and developmental cases including Obstetrics and Gynaecological, surgical, and medical care. It also has been able to cater to Covid-19 cases as one of the designated hospitals in the state of Meghalaya during the Covid-19 pandemic.
By the grace of God, the Hospital is blessed with the College of Nursing which is affiliated and recognised by NEHU and the session starting from 2022-2023 for BSc Nursing. The College will encourage the students and faculty to nurture their intellectual curiosity in healthcare and modern scientific technologies and research temperament.
Through this website I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the staff who have sacrificed and dedicated themselves to the service and to the care of the patients.
With this I also want to express my deep sense of gratitude to the Churches under Khasi Jaintia Presbyterian Assembly (KJPA) and well wishers domestically and abroad for their generous help and support to the Hospitals activities and works.
I wish that the website will be successful, meaningful and benefited to all who wants to know about the Hospital.
In this Centenary year 2022, of Dr H. Gordon Roberts Hospital, I take this opportunity to wish all the Church members and Churches under the Khasi Jaintia Presbyterian Assembly (KJPA), well-wishers and friends. ‘’A very Happy Centenary’’.
God Bless You All
