'''Naga Hospital Authority, Kohima''' ('''NHAK''') is a government-run tertiary hospital in [[Kohima]], [[Nagaland]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
It was established in 1905 as a ten-bedded dispensary.<ref name=":0" /> The foundation for the present hospital was laid after the Second World War. Villages in and around Kohima participated in levelling the ground. The occasion continued the tradition of [[Kene (Naga wrestling)|kene]] (wrestling) competitions between the volunteers, from villages and communities, as friendly contests between work time.<ref>{{Citation |last=Richa |first=Avinu Veronica |title=Wrestling Out Youth Development Through Indigenous Sports and Games: An Account of Naga Wrestling |date=2023 |work=Handbook of Youth Development |pages=135–147 |editor-last=Deb |editor-first=Sibnath |url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-99-4969-4_8 |access-date=2025-10-09 |place=Singapore |publisher=Springer Nature Singapore |language=en |doi=10.1007/978-981-99-4969-4_8 |isbn=978-981-99-4968-7 |last2=Khatsu |first2=Neivikuolie |last3=Richa |first3=Amenu |editor2-last=Deb |editor2-first=Shayana|url-access=subscription }}</ref><br />

The dispensary was then upgraded to Kohima Civil Hospital with 60 beds. It was later renamed as Naga Hospital Authority.<ref name=":0">{{cite web | url=https://nagahealth.nagaland.gov.in/district_details?id=MTA-&district=S29oaW1h#gsc.tab=0| title=Naga Hospital Authority, Kohima - Department of Health & Family Welfare, Nagaland|publisher=[[Government of Nagaland]]|access-date=December 16, 2021}}</ref> The hospital was conferred to autonomous status in 2003 through the Naga Hospital Authority Bill by the Government of Nagaland.<br />
