Each of EHA’s six nursing schools is working to enhance their programs and facilities per the requirements of the Indian Nursing Council (INC). The INC wants all nursing programs to upgrade to the more demanding Bachelor of Science degree, requiring significant changes in lab spaces, equipment, teaching facilities, and student housing.

Baptist Christian Hospital (BCH) in Tezpur, Assam, is thrilled to be receiving a $1.2-million grant from the American Schools and Hospitals Abroad organization. BCH will break ground on their new buildings in March 2023 and hopes to complete the expansion in 2024. This new nursing college will allow more local young people to study nursing at BCH and ensure a better future for themselves and their families.
