Serving humanity for 125 years cmc &hospital ludhiana




As a part of the quasquicentennial celebrations (125 years), Christian Medical College and Hospital (CMCH), Ludhiana, has built Dr Brown Heritage Centre to pay homage to the CMCH’s founder Dr Dame Edith Mary Brown.
The heritage centre was today inaugurated by Health Minister Brahm Mohindra.
He said the Punjab Government would always stand by the CMCH as the hospital continues to serve needy.
Born in Whitehaven in 1864, Dr Brown graduated from Girton College, Cambridge. Later, Dr Brown studied medicine at London School of Medicine for Women.

The Baptist Missionary Society sent Dr Brown to Bombay in 1891 and she was taken aback by seeing medical conditions in India and felt the need to educate women, especially midwives. After two years, she went to set up her own North Indian School of Medicine for christian women and later upgraded it to 200 bed hospital. The school was renamed Christian Medical College.
Dr William Bhatti, Director, CMCH, Ludhiana; Dr Sudhir Jospeh, chariman, governing body members of CMCH; Dr Jeyaraj Pandian, Principal; and Dr Reena Jairus, Principal, College of Nursing; among others were also present on the occasion.

Dr Brown Heritage Centre is a treasure trove
·         The Heritage Centre houses Dr Brown’s furniture, Bible used by her (1761) and her clock and piano
·         Some of the interesting items include a photograph of the first four students enroled in 1890s, light code based on-call system, the CMCs electricity installation order (1934), mallet with which the groundbreaking ceremony of the main building was done and an ancient steam sterilizer, among others
