ABOUT THE HOSPITAL
TLM Naini Hospital was established in the year 1876.
Dr Sam Higginbotham, the American Presbyterian missionary and founder of Allahabad Agricultural Institute, started Naini Leper Asylum in 1876 to take care of leprosy patients. It was a part of Agriculture Institute and Blind Home at that time. This institution served as a home for the leprosy patients who were abandoned by their families and communities for the first few decades of its existence. In 1906, the Mission to Lepers (now, The Leprosy Mission Trust India) took over the institution. It is one of the largest hospitals serving people affected by leprosy in India.
The Leprosy Mission’s Training unit at Naini offers various courses related to leprosy, including its epidemiology, recognising and referring potential cases, diagnosis and treatment approaches, management of leprosy reactions, prevention of disabilities, and public health interventions.
The facilities provided by the hospital include out-patient and in-patient services, operating theatre, laboratory service, ECG service, X-ray service, counselling, physiotherapy, pharmacy, MCR protective footwear and artificial limbs.
