Personal reflections of Barbara and Nancy in preparation for summer 2007.

Bangalore Baptist Hospital at a Glance!

BBH is  Bangalore Baptist Hospital and is located at Bellary Road, Hebbal,
Bangalore 560024.  It is a 220-bed teaching hospital and is a unit of Christian Medical College, Vellore.  Its existence began in 1963 when Dr. and Mrs. Jasper McPhail were the first Southern Baptist medical missionaries appointed to the area.  The property for the hospital was purchased in Hebbal, which is located on the northern edge of Bangalore. In 1969, the Mr. John Wikmans and Mr. Richard Hellingers arrived. The architectural plans for the hospital building were completed, and construction began in 1971. Four other churches and some preaching points were established by this time.

On January 15, 1973, the ‘Bangalore Baptist Hospital’ was dedicated. From then on the number of missionaries assigned to the work began to increase as more staff were added to the hospital.
