Moorshead Memorial Christian Hospital Trust

This hospital is located in G. Udayagiri, which is part of the Kandhamal district. We have been established here for quite a long time, serving the local community. It’s a trust-run place, so things are done a bit differently than a big private hospital. The grounds are old, and the buildings have a lot of history to them. People come from all over the rural areas of Kandhamal to get help here. We deal with everything from basic injuries to more serious illnesses. It’s not always easy being out here, away from the big cities, but we make do with what we have. The staff is very hardworking, many of them have lived in G. Udayagiri their whole lives. We have different wards and a pharmacy on site. The atmosphere is generally quiet, though it gets busy on clinic days when people travel in from the villages. We don't use a lot of fancy medical jargon; we just explain things simply to the patients and their families. It’s a place that relies on the hard work of the people here. There is a sense of history in the hallways. We just continue the work that started here many years ago. It’s a vital part of the district for those who don't have many other options for healthcare. We keep the place running as well as we can every day.
