MUSSOORIE, 1 Dec: Landour Community Hospital, established in 1931 as a mission hospital, has today become a major centre for healthcare services in the region. This 35-bedded hospital provides 24-hour emergency, OPD, and inpatient services.

The newly constructed maternity unit was inaugurated at the hospital on Monday. On this occasion, Dr Pavithra Zachariah expressed concern over the need for quality maternal and newborn services for women in the hilly regions. She explained that the hospital’s care focuses more on preventive rather than curative medicine—where timely identification of high-risk pregnancies, prevention of complications, and regular check-ups help ensure the safety of both mother and child. She also shared that the specialist team is equipped with the latest monitoring systems and modern operative instruments, enabling effective management of most obstetric complications.

Adding to the grandeur of the event, Meera Saklani, Chairperson of the City Board, and Savita Dass, Member of the District Panchayat, were present. Both esteemed guests congratulated the hospital and praised its ongoing commitment and excellent service to the community. Ward Member Vishal Kharola was also present and encouraged the hospital staff.

The hospital also offers cesarean section, ultrasound, and cancer screening services.

With the opening of the new maternity unit, access to quality maternal and gynecological care in Landour and nearby areas has become even stronger—marking an important step toward improving the health and well-being of the local community.
