History Of Bangalore Baptist Hospital
Dr and Mrs Jasper McPhail were the first Southern Baptist missionaries appointed to India. They began serving as the staff of Christian Medical College, Vellore. In 1963, Dr. McPhail made the initial efforts to choose the location for the proposed hospital, which was to be the primary work of the mission. Bangalore was chosen as the site, and Dr and Mrs Ralph Bethea began work there in 1966, and the first church ‘Sonnenhalli’ (now ‘Bethel’) was established.
The property for the hospital was purchased in Hebbal, which is located on the northern edge of Bangalore. In 1969, Dr & Mrs John Wikman and Dr & Mrs Richard Hellinger arrived. The architectural plans for the hospital building were completed, and construction began in 1971. On January 15 1973, the ‘Bangalore Baptist Hospital’ was dedicated.
Bangalore Baptist Hospital began as an 80-bed general hospital. The hospital provided medical care in major areas of medicine, surgery, paediatrics and obstetrics-gyneacology. In 1982 as a result of overcrowding, the trustees decided to add 20 extra beds. Over the years the bed strength has grown to 200.
