Women's Christian Hospital, Multan, commonly known as Mission Hospital Multan, is a hospital in Multan, Pakistan. It is one of the oldest women's hospital located in Multan, Punjab, Pakistan.[1][2]

Covering an area of six-and-a-half acres, this facility, often referred to as the Mission Hospital, is noted for its free healthcare services for underprivileged patients.[1]

History

It was established in 1899 by the Church Missionary Society.[1] In its earlier history, it bore the name "Mohabbat Hospital," with Dr. Eager as one of its founding members.[1]

In 1935, a maternity facility and labor rooms were created, as well as a nurse training school.[3] The C.M.S. sold the 100-bed hospital to the Women's Union Missionary Society (WUMS) on October 1, 1956.[3] WUMS was then registered with the Government of Pakistan and is still operating under the name WUMS.[3]

In 1978, the hospital's concentration shifted to obstetrics, gynecology, and pediatrics alone.[3]
