Brief Introduction

In 1899 the Church Missionary Society (CMS) opened a special hospital for women on the site of the present Women’s Christian Hospital (better known as “Mission Hospital”) in Multan. The Hospital provided women with Medical, Surgical and Obstetric in-patient and out-patient services.

Around 1935 a proper maternity ward and labor rooms were built and a nurse/dai training school was established. (Dai is the name for traditional birth attendant). On October 1st, 1956 the C.M.S handed over the 100-bed hospital to the Women’s Union Missionary Society (WUMS). WUMS was then registered with the Govt. of Pakistan in 1960 and is presently running under WUMS.
