CHURCH OF SOUTH INDIA HOSPITAL, BENGALURU
The Church of South India Hospital Bangalore started in the year 1893 as Zenana Mission Hospital exclusively for women and children. It was established by the Church of England Zenana Mission in response to the custom of those days where the local women were allowed to be treated by women medical professionals only. The Hospital, therefore, employed only Lady Doctors. The Hospital was thrown open for male patients and male doctors, and thus it became a general hospital in 1965. The Hospital is under the Karnataka Central Diocese of the Church of South India. The present building of 240 beds with all the modern amenities was inaugurated in the year 1978. It is now a Multispecialty and General Hospital, catering mainly to the lower socioeconomic groups of society. The School of Nursing was established under the Christian Medical Association of India (CMAI) in the year 1950, and candidates are recruited from all over the country. The Paramedical Courses were started in 1959 under the aegis of the Christian Medical Association of India (CMAI). Since 1999 Allied Health Science Courses are under the Government of Karnataka Paramedical Board.
