About Us

Established in 1935, Ganesh Das Government Maternal and Child Health Hospital has stood as a cornerstone of maternal and child healthcare in the region, serving women and children across East Khasi Hills and beyond for over 89 years. Perched atop Lawmali (Pasteur Hill), overlooking the Umkhrah stream and near the historic Polo Ground, the hospital combines a legacy of compassionate care with steady modernization. From an initial capacity of just 32 beds, later expanded to 68, it has grown into a 424-bedded district hospital exclusively dedicated to women and children. Over the years, it has strengthened its clinical services with the establishment of critical care units including ICU (6 beds), HDU (8 beds), SNCU/NICU (30 beds), PICU (6 beds), and MNCU (30 beds) and Echo Cardiography for antenatal and paediatric cases reflecting its commitment to comprehensive and critical specialized care. The hospital’s quality and performance are demonstrated through its achievements—receiving the Kayakalp Award for Best District Hospital in the State for 2022–23 and 2023–24, maintaining ISO 9001:2015 certification (renewed from August 2023 to August 2026), and securing NQAS, LaQshya, and MusQan certifications in October 2025 and best APMJAY-MHIS performing hospital in the state. Service delivery indicators have shown consistent improvement, including increased OPD attendance, higher IPD admissions, a rise in institutional deliveries with over 7500 per year over 3 years and strengthened ICU(BOR~49%) , HDU (BOR~72 %) and SNCU (BOR~79%) admissions thereby reducing maternal and infant mortality. Moving forward, the hospital aims to further enhance its capacity and scope of services through the expansion of NICU beds, introduction of a dedicated Paediatric HDU, and the addition of advanced diagnostic and therapeutic services such as dialysis, MRI, and CT imaging services. With sustained investments in infrastructure, human resources, and quality systems, the hospital continues to evolve as a leading institution committed to safe, accessible, and high-quality healthcare for mothers and children in East Khasi Hills District and neighbouring districts.
