About Adventist Health India
Adventist Health India is an affiliate of the world wide Church Seventh Day Adventists. There are more than 175 healthcare institutions operated in various countries.
The Seventh Day Adventist church was organized formally in 1863. One of the leading founder of the church Mrs. Ellen G. White recognized the close relationship of physical wellbeing with emotional and spiritual wellbeing. In 1866, under the direction of James and Ellen White they opened a new kind of healthcare center in Battle Creek, USA. It was one institution that not only treated disease but also taught people how to prevent disease through good nutrition, exercise and sanitation. It was a place where each person was valued as a creation of God. Within years under the leadership of Dr. John Harvey Kellog the institution gained international recognition. Soon the work spread around the world including India.
In the early part of 1900’s missionary doctors established health centres throughout India. Over the years some have stood and they have provided the much needed healthcare in remote locations by overcoming financial constraints. Today the Southern Asia Division of SDA operates 12 hospitals. Eleven hospitals are operated across the country and there is one hospital in Nepal.
