REPORT 2015 - 16
Madhipura Christian Hospital faced some challenging situations when the drug inspector suspended its operations for a couple of months due to lack of adherence to minor legal compliances. This resulted in a loss of revenue. They also faced a couple of incidents of mob violence during the year. However Dr. Pradeep Ninan, a pediatric surgeon joined the team & helped in starting new surgical services. Their Community health team has done extremely well in reducing human trafficking & empowering farmers & other vulnerable families to reduce migration by increasing their livelihoods through better agricultural techniques.
