Harriet Benson Memorial Hospital

Mrs. Elizabeth M. Bacon came to Lalitpur in November 1890 and opened a mission station attached with a small clinic and school under the Reformed Episcopal Mission, USA. Regular medical work was started in 1934 with a full fledged hospital. Dedicated expatriate missionaries managed these for four decades. In 1973 the RE Mission handed over the management to EHA. Since then, from a very small beginning, Harriet Benson Memorial Hospital continues on its path of service and growth – a testimony of His enduring grace and faithfulness.
