Christian Hospital


The Christian Hospital was established with the financial help of the Presbyterian Church and serves all people.

This monument honors the physicians who have served in the hospital.

This chapel is within the hospital compound, near its entrance. After the 2002 bombing, a barbed wire fence was erected and armed guards patrol.

Maternity ward: the 4-hour old baby poses with her uncle. Mama was not in the mood for pictures but happily covered herself with a sheet for her newborn to be photographed.

A sign reads:
"THE TIME WHEN EVIL STRUCK SOME BUT GOD SAVED MANY".

The church service was running late when it was bombed.  Fortunatley the nurses left early for their shifts. If the service had ended on time, many more people would have been hurt.
