==History==
Christian Hospital, Bissam Cuttack (better known as '''CHB''') started on the verandah of a church in the year 1954, by the Danish missionary Dr. [[Liz. Madsen]] (1913–1991). After a prolonged service of 11 years she wanted to handover the charge to a suitable successor. Madsen's search for a successor came to an end when she found Mr. & Mrs. Henry. Nancy Lott, while working in India as a volunteer from the United Church of Christ, met Dr Virendra K. Henry and married him. In 1975 Dr. and Mrs. Henry joined to take over the hospital. The Henrys worked at Bissam Cuttack for a long time and later moved to Mungeli Christian Hospital.<ref name="CHB, Mungeli">{{cite web|title=Nonsense Girl|url=https://nonsensegirl.wordpress.com/tag/christian-hospital-mungeli/|website=wordpress.com|accessdate=29 June 2015}}</ref> Today the hospital has its own buildings and has extended its services in out-patient department and in-patient departments. The hospital is a non-profit organisation and a member of the Conference on World Mission, Athens-2005.<ref>[http://www.jesus1.it/Pages/en_the_christian_churches_and_the_ecumenism.aspx?arg=4&rec=110.
