Bach Christian Hospital

The hospital was founded in 1956 by the Evangelical Alliance Mission, an Illinois-based organization.^[3] It was named in honor of founding missionary Thomas Bach.^[3]

Following the 2005 earthquake, the hospital's physical therapy department expanded its services to include prosthetics.^[3]

In April 2023, Khyber Medical University (KMU) and Bach Christian Hospital (BCH) formalized a mutual collaboration through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).^[4] The agreement facilitates reciprocal use of academic and research resources, with KMU focusing on knowledge dissemination and research, and BCH providing practical training across various disciplines.^[4]

BCH currently runs eleven operational departments, including obstetric and pediatric wards, and two surgical theatres.^[3]

The hospital specializes in general surgical services and complicated obstetrics, supported by a laboratory, radiology, ultrasound and physiotherapy facilities, and a pharmacy.^[3] It provides critical care for patients suffering from prevalent regional illnesses such as diabetes, tuberculosis, typhoid, and skin burns.^[3]
