Improvements at Landour Community Hospital
Things are looking up at Landour Community Hospital (LCH). The staff are seeing close to 100 outpatients a day, and inpatient surgeries are up. While they still have a shortage of doctors, they have some new staff coming in, including several US doctors and nurses. It is difficult for American medical personnel to get licensed in India, but these people have had success.
Nestled on a cliff in the foothills of the Himalayas, LCH (long building with the green roof) can be difficult to get to. LCH is about to have roadwork done to widen their access road, which is currently a tight hairpin curve. Recently LCH was able to complete a sorely needed staff housing building, and they also have some new medical equipment ordered. The staff at Landour are encouraged that things are looking up.
