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 401-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.
As a healthcare institution dedicated to maternal and child wellbeing, we are committed to providing safe, accessible and quality healthcare at every stage—from pregnancy and childbirth to newborn, pediatric and preventive care. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals works together to ensure that every patient receives personalized attention in a safe and supportive environment. We understand that welcoming a new life and caring for a child are among the most important journeys a family undertakes and we are honored to be a part of that journey. With continuous learning, teamwork and a strong commitment to patient safety, we strive every day to build healthier mothers, healthier children and a healthier community.
