History

St. Joseph Hospital was started on 21 September 1921 by Franciscan Missionaries of Mary. Franciscan Missionaries of Mary sisters came from Rawalpindi to start a hospital at the request of the Mill Hill Fathers. After setting up a temporary dispensary followed by a maternity hospital and dispensary in 1931, a full-fledged general hospital was established in 1937. The hospital was attacked by tribes from Pakistan in 1947. Mother Aldertrude, Mother Superior of the convent, Miss Philomena, a nurse, Mr. Jose Barreto, and Sr. María Teresalina Sánchez of F.M.M. were brutually killed.[9][10] In 1965, auxiliary nurse midwifery (ANM) and female multi purpose health worker (FMHW) courses were started at the hospital.
