The Christian Medical College & Hospital, Ludhiana is an educational and research institution of an all India character established and run by the minority Christian community. Its primary aim is to educate and train Christian men and women as health professionals, in the spirit of Jesus Christ for the healing ministry of the Church in India. However, like many other Christian educational institutions this college also offers educational facilities to other young men and women irrespective of religion, caste and community.

Through education in this college the Christian Church seeks to make a significant contribution to the health standards of all communities of our nation with special emphasis on health care in the rural underserved and unreached areas/communities in India.

The Medical Missionary work was started in Ludhiana in the year 1881 by the Greenfield sisters, Miss Martha Rose and Miss Kay Greenfield. They were Evangelists and Educationalists from Scotland. This pioneering medical work of the Greenfield sisters was the precursor of the Medical Training and Health Care Service Programe of the present Christian Medical College, Ludhiana

The Greenfield sisters and their associates organized the Health Care Educational Services in which endeavour Dr. Edith Mary Brown joined them in 1893 and in 1894 the North Indian School of Medicine for Christian Women was started by Dr. Edith Mary Brown and her colleagues with the object of training Indian nationals particularly the women, to serve in the field of Medical education and Health Care Services, emphasizing integration of training and health care services.

The period from 1894 to 1952 has been an epoch making era which saw the landmark of development from its beginning as a School of Medicine for Christian Women to Women’s Christian Medical College until 1952 when the name was changed to Christian Medical College to enable it to admit both men and women students for the upgraded MBBS course which came into effect for its first admission from 1953. The College was affiliated with Punjab University, Chandigarh. The Medical School granted LSMF diploma till 1952. Since the College was upgraded to M.B.B.S in 1953, more than 2000 candidates have graduated and are serving in different parts of India & the world.

The Christian Medical College is situated in a large campus not far from Ludhiana Railway Station, on both sides of the Brown Road. The Campus has residential quarters for the staff, hostels for medical, nursing and paramedical students, both men and women. The College maintains 775 Hospital beds. Our national medical and para-medical teaching staff and other staff come from nearly every state in India. The Government of India and Punjab have continued their interest and support in the work and the development of the college and its hospital.

The Christian Medical College is recognized by the Medical Council of India. Since July 1999 the College is affiliated with Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot, Punjab. Ludhiana, one of the old-established cities of Punjab, with a population that has increased during recent years to around 20,00,000 lies 300 km north-west of Delhi and less than 150 km from the border with Pakistan. It is situated on the Grand Trunk Road running from the border through to Delhi, and is an important railway junction. Today it is one of the fastest-growing small and medium industrial centers in India.

More than a century ago; a young lady felt the calling to serve the Lord far across the seas in a distant land with challenges one could hardly fathom. Dame Edith Mary Brown had a dream and a prayer. To serve the people of India, particularly her women in the name of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That dream was crystallized into reality in the setting up of Christian medical college & Hospital in Ludhiana in 1894.
From the time of it’s inception, the Christian medical College & Hospital has pledged itself to the service of the nation, her halls oft echoing its founder’s refrain, ‘My Work is for a King’. This motto underscores the philosophy of this premier institute which has been at the nations service ever since. Young and old, rich and poor, high born or low born, of all faiths, the hospital has worked for all and endeavoured to give each living soul service befitting a King.
Scores of young Indians have trained in its schools of medicine, dentistry, physiotherapy and nursing, and all who leave CMC&H , take with them the same burden and privilege, to serve this vast nation to the best of our abilities.
So at Christian medical college & Hospital, be it in the traditional healing touch of the doctor, to the latest innovation in imaging or surgical expertise, the vein of service still run true. Service to each as to a king remains our goal and vision
