Overview
Dhamtari Christian Hospital is a large, self-supporting hospital begun by Mennonite Church missionaries in the early 20th century. While North American Mennonites no longer subsidize any part of the hospital's program or operations, the hospital continues to welcome American Mennonite friends, with an open invitation for medical personnel to serve in short-term assignments.

History
While North American Mennonite missionaries operated and supported Dhamtari Christian Hospital for its first 75 years, the hospital now has a long history of independence and local direction. The Dhamtari Christian Nursing School and College adds an important dimension to the hospital's ministry as well. While the hospital considered, for several years, the possibility of opening a medical college, administrators have now decided on other directions and are making plans to open a College of Allied Health Sciences.
