Dateline Dehradun: Landour Community Hospital, Mussoorie established in 1931 as a mission hospital, has today become a major center for healthcare services for not only Mussoorie but neighbouring villages as well. This 35-bedded hospital provides 24-hour emergency, OPD, and inpatient services.
Adding to its services, a newly constructed maternity unit was inaugurated at the hospital. On this occasion, Dr. Pavithra Zachariah, the Gynaecologist expressed concern over the need for quality maternal and new-born 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, Mrs. Meera Saklani, Chairperson City Board, Mussoorie and Mrs. Savita Dass, Member of the District Panchayat, were present. The esteemed guests congratulated the hospital and praised its ongoing commitment and excellent service to the community. Also present were Dr. George Clemence, Dr. Alam, Dr. Binu Thomas, Dr. Nate, Meena Kapoor, Rajat Kapoor, Tarana Kapoor, Abha Saili, ward member Vishal Kharola and the staff and family of Landour Community Hospital.
The hospital also offers caesarean section, ultrasound, and cancer screening services.
With the opening of the new maternity unit, access to quality maternal and gynaecological 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.
