The visit marked a significant moment in the hospital’s history, symbolizing not only a gesture of goodwill but also the growing bond between the Indian diplomatic mission and local institutions committed to community development and healthcare excellence. The High Commissioner and his family were warmly received by the hospital’s leadership team, including the Hospital Administrator, department heads, and staff.

The tour began at the General Outpatient Department (OPD), where the Commissioner observed the patient flow system and interacted with nurses and clinicians. He was then shown the Maternity Unit, where staff highlighted significant achievements, including the hospital’s record of zero maternal mortality over the past two years, the use of ultramodern delivery beds, radiant warmers, phototherapy machines, and a private delivery suite—all contributing to safe and dignified maternal care. The tour also included stops at the Laboratory, Pharmacy, and the newly established Physiotherapy Unit, where the High Commissioner expressed keen interest in the equipment and services available. Throughout the tour, he and his family were visibly impressed by the dedication and professionalism of the staff, the cleanliness of the environment, and the innovative measures the hospital has adopted despite its rural setting.
